Answered in post #2.
How much are the dip attachments and where can I get them?
New York Barbell sells some generic attachments; they may possibly have something that would work.No brain, no gain.

If you could find a decent pic of the factory Bodysmith/Parabody dip attachment, you could probably have one made by a local welder/fabricator for less than the $250 it would cost you to "upgrade" to the Powertec rack.

You're probably right. I don't have any experience with either rack, so I can't offer an opinion as to which way he should go. I was just pointing out an option that some folks might overlook when looking at used racks.
