67-72 Steel / Louvered Visors - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Boomerswany · 09-15-2009, 01:31 PM

Hey - Back in the 80's I had a steel visor on my 70'd, that was chrome and louvered. Sort of cheesy to today's standards, but I'd love to find an aged and rusted cousin from back i the day... I'll look for the photo's

Not over the doors - but, across the front / top - like this one from MIKET

there is a guy at a local flea market who has one for sale, along with an aluminum intake and carb set up for a inline 6! I want that for sure if I get up the money! what are you looking to spend on the visor?

**mr48chev** · 09-19-2009, 08:17 PM

Naa, I'll be nice and not say it. The good O'l boys at the truck stop will probably go nuts over it though. My buddy has visors on all of his trucks and I have to razz him every chance I get.

Boomerswany · 11-27-2009, 10:50 PM

extd56 · 11-28-2009, 12:57 AM

Like this one on a Blazer?

**special-K** · 11-28-2009, 11:19 AM

I think the company was J & J.They mostly made stailess cow catchers ,bed rails,running boards,and cab protectors for the dually tow vehicle market.I bought a chrome one for my`70 C/30 DRW utility bed truck for the big truck look I was going for.But,they don`t clear cab lights,so I sent it back and got a primed one to cut.But,you`d be into the louvers and I just decided not to mess with it and leave the look more original.Never ran stacks,either

.I thought I had a picture of it set on one of my trucks on my`puter.

marcsRX · 11-28-2009, 11:23 AM

shweet!

Boomerswany · 11-28-2009, 11:34 PM

Yep... looked very similar to the one on the Blazizer... just mounted a little different on the cab... would love to find a ****ty one for my grundge truck...

Like-this...

**special-K** · 11-29-2009, 07:41 AM

I think those are both the same visor.I only know of one maker of these.I`ll get a picture of the one I have.

Boomerswany · 11-30-2009, 12:55 AM

Thanks special K.... PM me if you'd like to work a deal? I wanna make it rusty metal or chrome...

**special-K** · 11-30-2009, 08:50 AM

well...mine already has patina.it`s unused,but it looks like an old GM N.O.S. piece now with the old black primer.I think I bought that in`88.i took pictures yesterday evening and loaded them.when I edited my post to add them in,I couldn`t find them.I erase my camera right after loading pictures routinely.it was dark by then.I`ll do it again.

Boomerswany · 11-30-2009, 03:39 PM

kizmet... pm sent... Thanks!

bbadfred · 11-30-2009, 07:05 PM

Hummm I have never seen one? They must have been sold south of the mason dixon line???

Sorry guys that just popped into my empty head!!!!!!!!

Hottrucks · 11-30-2009, 07:27 PM

funny you bring this up I have been on the prowel for one if you look at the pic I have one on the KW....I like the look of the ones from the big trucks because they lay almost flat against the windshield...gives that slammed look

On a side note you can forget about seeing the traffic light when you roll up to it....but Kool has its price...

Didn't the mid 50's chevys come with a prism that sat on the dash so you could see the traffic lights without looking up? It could help you see past your visor if it is an issue.

Hottrucks · 12-01-2009, 03:17 PM

one thing I have done is tinted my winshield down as far as the sunvisors go..about 6" down the windshield...sometimes i find myself looking out the side window to see traffic lights..put your visor down and you'll see...for 10 buck think there will be one on my next order

**special-K** · 12-04-2009, 12:11 AM
