those are not roll bars. those are show bars. looks only! they're about as thick as exhaust tubing. roll over on one, and you'll likely crush it.

yea maybe so but they are called roll bars, and everyone I've seen has been thicker then exhaust tubing. I have also seen one on an 80's chevy long bed that rolled and the bar was in tact, the front of the cab wasn't. Not to mention the one above me said smitty built, same crap.
You want a "roll bar" build one or see if summit or jegs has one. I know they have them for fullsize trucks, numerous cars and s-10's.

maybe they do but I didn't mention them. So why no quote on them saying they are BS? That's why I mentioned it since you thought only my post was BS. LOL I'm just ******* with ya.
but seriously....
When the Op says he wants a roll bar and doesn't say a reall one or a cage and not just for looks I have no clue what they want or mean so I threw out that option nobody else seemed to answer or help except for mr. clean which was about the same as mine. Since both were about the bolt in show bars.

Most of the older "roll bars" are stronger than people give them credit for. The newer ones still available for the modern trucks are thin though. Same deal with brush guards.

Keep an eye out on craigslist for a K5 being parted out, sometimes you can find them that way. I've missed out on a couple because I didn't have cash at the time. I'd like to get one and have it powdercoated to match my interior.
