Anyone make a cab windshield visor?

I have not dealt with them. I just ran across them searching for the same thing you are...a new cab visor. I finally gave up on the idea. I like the old Lund versions and was not going to pay for a 40+ year old, as-is, used piece of fiberglass for a few hundred dollars.

The one in your link isn't too bad. I was looking for something a little more low profile and possibly made out of aluminum. If I had a sheet metal brake I would make my own.

Did you watch the TV show Full Custom Garage where he made one with no brake. Just garage tools.

I will have to look for that. Thanks

Lund used to make one, not sure if they still do. This one came off a 70 suburban. Sorry though it's long gone.

Body shop guys loved those visors. Not too long after install with sheet metal screws the wind flexes the visor and loosen up the sheet metal screws making the holes bigger. Soon you got 3/8" holes in you roof.
Now the body guys get to make some money off fixing the holes.
LOL!

The lund visor is ok. But I was looking for something that would attach to the drain ridge. I think something like this design would be cool

Unfortunately, J&J Enterprises either no longer exists or the don't make visors any more. The used to make one in steel that was actually designed to go with the 67-72 body style. The Lund visors are generic one size fits all style. Yes, made for individual fit, but not individual style. They look like they were designed for Fords, or look best on them. Especially the 9000LTL


90% of big rigs run visors and they don't work lose or cause body damage body guys love. I ran a J & J visor on a '70 work truck for years with no poor consequences. Those mount with nutserts, so you start off with a 7/16" hole (IIRC) that never gets bigger. I had an extra one I sold to a member in Oregon years ago. I wish I could find a picture. One like those could be made fairly easily. Looked a bit like the one showed with holes. These had a step-up in the center, about 6" wide, and louvers to relieve air pressure. No louvers would probably be ok as long as a space between can and visor allowed passage of air

I also had a fiberglass one on my '71 wrecker the previous owner had installed many years ago. Called the Supervisor, that went really well with the body design. It went down more than up. No body damage on that one, either. Those go back to the '70s van craze, mostly designed for vans

I don't know, but that 'Supervisor' might have a 2nd life in aftermarket if done correctly. I think it looks good on your wrecker and has that '70s vibe.

I've had one on my truck for over 30 years with no problems.

I never saw your truck white. That's cool to see.

I guess if someone didn't tighten the mounting screws, skimped on them, or they happened to work loose unnoticed long enough, I could see problems from that. We need to pay attention to our vehicles. I can't imagine not noticing a visor being loose that long to do rip out the holes.

I remember traveling a 12hr trip in a girlfriend's 4-Runner and hearing a tapping or other not so loud noise from up above. I pulled over to discover the factory wind deflector for the sunroof had a screw that backed out and others working loose. I removed it and fastened it back on once home where I had more screws. I caught it before it damaged paint or anything else. I've seen windshields get ruined due to a simple deteriorated wiper blade going untended to right before the drivers eyes, literally. How that goes unnoticed evades me
