Re: any of you running chrome door visors ???
Ok there is a left and a right visor. The slide up between the window seal and the door frame. When you slide them up and they seat in place you will see the screw holes end up right on the curve of the door frame. You will need to drill two holes on each of them for the little screws you have. I tape the visor in place and use a small center punch to mark the holes and a place for the drill bit to start and drill them right through the vent shade. I do them one at a time and put the screw in as I drill the hole them go to the next hole.

The reason you should buy literature for your truck. 1965 Accessories Installation Reference Manual.

Re: any of you running chrome door visors ???
Ok brother here is my first try at a tutorial for you. First of all let me just say they are a real PITA lol. And not stainless like they claimed but oh well they are on .. Ok so first you must push them up in between. The door window channel and the weather stripping. Fit them in place mine were tight so I did not need tape to hold them in and then get you a small drill bit and drill a pilot hole for your screws the visor should already have pre drilled holes . so you should be able to hold your visor in place and slowly drill the hole. WARNING on mine not easy because the holes lined up on the edge on the 90 degree bend of the door metal. I cursed a lot and broke 3 bits and they were Craftsaman bits . ok here is some pictures

Re: any of you running chrome door visors ???
Those pics are to show it seated in place and the size bit I used. Next pics show it installed. I have a big feeling that all my difficulty with putting these in is probably due to the fact that they were cheap repops and not a factory part they were really not easy to fit or the drill for I have a feeling that the pre-drilled holes should have been in different places then they were and it would have made it much easier to drill and fit them in they were kind of bowed at the same time so the bends weren't proper so I had to massage it a little but they are in

Re: any of you running chrome door visors ???
Were the visors offered on the 1960 models?
