Older Accessories:Visor - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I had to clear out a building to do some work and uncovered this visor I bought years ago when I was building a C/30 work truck.J&J Enterprices used to make these in chrome and primed.I ordered a chrome but had to send it back.These have louvers in them and although it was listed to fit 10-30s it had to be cut around the "factory" cab lights.So,it didn`t fit a C/30.I sent it back because I didn`t want to hack up something that was already chromed.They made me pay shipping and charged me a restock fee even though I felt it was their mistake(improperly listed).The new one showed up and I stashed it.A few days later I come home and feel deja vu.There`s a box the same size in the same place.Well,they screwed up and sent me two.If they hadn`t charged me for their mistake I would have let them know.I put the one on a work truck I had and this one never got cut and installed on the one ton.
I`ve never been a fan of add-on stuff like visors.But,I was going or all the big rig stuff on my one ton utility body.They are a nice gauge of steel and really don`t look too bad.It`s a shame to put holes in the top these days.Here it is set on a truck,not mounted properly.Just an general idea.

Sad about the charges and all, but you got 2 out of the deal! I think those only look good on lowered panels. JMO

It would look good on a C/60

The truck I put the other one was a 1/2t longbed with a Reading work cap,level with the cab,like the one on my`92.It looked like a panel at a glance.I just wanted to use it and it helped keep crap from my scaffold off the windshield.It looked alright on a commercial vehicle.I had a ladder rack anyway,which hangs over the cab/windshield.

Just can't see it on a nice 1/2 ton.

I don't feel the love for that thing - sorry.

I'm with Dan. On a big truck, maybe. But these don't have any aesthetic value at all, in my opinion.

I know nobody likes visors(these days).I just thought you 67/72 fans might like to see a rather unique accessory from days gone by.I felt it was the best looking one out of all available and it`s heavy steel.I`d consider running it on a medium duty cab.I wouldn`t run stacks on a pickup,either.But,i`d run`em on a medium duty.This is the kind of stuff you do to bigger trucks.

Looking at those pictures again, that's going to be a lot of work no matter which truck you put it on. You maybe right a meduim or bigger truck for sure!

I never liked visors,bug deflectors(with names

),running boards,tube grilles,or any other bolt-on crap.But,I like these better than a Lund.Alot of trucks got them back until a few years ago.It was just never my style.I had a CustomCamper/30 with CST int.that I mounted an 11' utility body on,chrome Budds,had west coasts chromed,stainless hardware,lights,alot of big truck stuff.I just never got aroud to cutting it to fit the lights...and was never sure I wanted to.
