There was also just the instructions from the first visor folded up with the packet. They must have slipped off the end of the shelf in the corner. There is one simple bracket for the center Ihad forgotten about. Hey, it was 25 years ago. Gmme a break.

well... imagine that... sending pm

**special-K** · 10-24-2015, 10:56 PM

Never would have found it if I was looking for it. And, if I found it and hadn't just read this thread I wouldn't have known what to do with it. Hah hah hah...

Hey; I'm sure you probably didn't know this; so you might could get a pass this time if you ask the right folks.

But from what I've observed and experienced we are pretty much Brothers and Sisters here - so we don't really do that (disrespect) each other around this forum.

God knows I've written some stupid things too and nobody piled on to me when they could have.

So this group is different - so maybe please take that into consideration next time. We're GM folk!

Be happy - life is short

Hey, I just realized something. You'll be receiving stolen goods! Does interstate mail make it a felony??

Sorry, not trying to waken the dead horse. Just havin' fun because it's so all good here we can actually joke like this with one other and take a poke or jab from time to time....right?

What's that? ....... Hey! Watch it!!

lol... and here it comes....

Possmguts · 10-26-2015, 07:08 PM

Got it sort of fitted today. Since I mounted it in a lower angle than it was designed for and used spacers to get a 1/2 inch gap along the roof line I will have to patch in the notch around the rain channel to get a cleaner look out of it, but I think Ill be happy when its done. I like the look it gives.

flashed · 10-26-2015, 07:27 PM

Looks good ,I like it.

I want one!

n33k0 · 10-27-2015, 03:09 PM

That looks good! I wonder how much that will affect visibility; I have trouble with the roof line blocking line of sight to the traffic signal at some intersections... On the other hand, the truck will look cool stopped at that green light!

We dont need to see no stinking red lights lol

CG · 10-28-2015, 12:43 AM

Id like to see it with a larger better pic. Kinda hard to really get a good look at it. There are a couple of members on the board that have visors .. they look pretty good.

**special-K** · 10-28-2015, 07:14 AM

There is a GM accessory floating around that is dash mounted with a prismatic lens that indicates the color of a citified traffic light. Or, you just pull your best John Milner and do the duck and glance up chop-top style

I had to google it. That's pretty neat, I've never heard of (or seen) those prisms. Were these ever a factory option from GM? Thanks for the info, Special-K.

CG · 10-28-2015, 11:37 AM

Just google traffic light viewer, there are tons of em.

**special-K** · 10-28-2015, 03:48 PM

Actually, I've never seen one like that. Pretty cool. In the '50s GM had a traffic light viewer as an accessory, but not sure about from factory. I think Cadillacs did come with them.

This is the one I had in mind:

I might even have one already... but I see them all the time at swap meets and such too. I doubt Ill have to use one. It doesn't block but a couple inches or so, not like the really older ones that could be adjusted up or down...
I guess i wont really know till I start fitting the seats in there.

Ill get ya a better shot this weekend

**special-K** · 10-31-2015, 07:00 AM

I don't have pictures of the '70 Custom/10 I had one of these on. But, I just stumbled onto pictures I took with the other one set on a '71 K/10 I had. I guess I took them for the guy who bought it

You can see the '71 Custom/30 wrecker with a fiberglass Supervisor from back even earlier days...like late '70s-early '80s

**Ironangel** · 10-31-2015, 08:09 AM

I like em! I'm going to play around with some stainless steel idea's I have laying around out there...I think it's important that windshield visors compliment the body lines of the whole vehicle such as the front of the hood. That Vintage Steel visor does that to an extent...Looks good Possmguts!

Ken B · 10-31-2015, 08:29 AM

I would never put a Lund visor on my truck but I'd put that one on in a heart beat! Nice score..

**special-K** · 11-01-2015, 11:26 AM

Lunds look like they were made for a '78 Ford pickup or LTL9000

I had also toyed with the idea of making a semi style drop visor if I wasnt able to find one like this one.
