Can I suggest you send an Email to GM Customer Relations (easily find the id from the GM site) and ask them ?

Bill,
That looks a lot like the trac rack system, are you looking for a ladder rack that can be moved back and forth along the bed rails, if you are that is it
http://www.tracrac.com/
Now you get my 2 cents. :)
Just wondering why you want that one, I see a lot of guys with it but don't understand it. Sure you can slide it forward to get it out of the way or use it for shorter boards but the thing is around 650 bucks and bulky
For about 150-200 less you can get a good aluminum rack which you could remove the back cross over if you needed to haul something tall
I have no experience with the trac-rac but I just can't invision people using the sliding feature
I was recommeded system one racks by someone here, haven't got it yet but it looked pretty good http://www.systemoneracks.com

Cag-I thought you could take those racks on and off pretty easy?Bill
Bill,
No experience with the trac rac, so I don't know if they slide off, I'd assume they would just by the design, though if you had a cross over box you probably wouldn't be able to get the front one off, but not sure.
Sorry if I went on a rant I just can't see it being moved or removed very often, but hey if you got a use for it go for it.

Try this place, http://www.americanvan.com/ , they have a selection of racks, and other got-to-have stuff.
I know this isn't what you want but I just wanted to show everyone what we use at work for ladder racks. I love em, if you have a utility bed this is the way to go.
Hey Luka I got off my lazy tukeish and converted them myself! :)
