I have the visors and the with the metal insert that goes on the pillar, but I am missing all screws and the retaining pieces that go bolted by the rear view mirror. Those metal pieces that hold the visors staight.
And anyone knows what are the exact screw size for all the screws, I am missing all of them.
Links to these pieces will be appreciated. I can not find them anywhere.
Thanks

 

here is pic for you, not sure of screw size. I'm sure Orchard would have them. I want to say size 8? do not know where to source pieces either...

 

Right now on the Bay, is an auction, with the Buy It Now option, for a nice set of repopped grey visors and the arms (chromed) for less than 100.00.

You can fool around wasting lots more than that searching or trying to "monkey-rig" something to sort of work.


NOTE: PM me for the ACTUAL term my generation uses, or used to use, for the term "monkey-rig", in pre-PC days, gone-by.

 

now I,m confused.my truck is drilled for the two brackets to support the ends above the rearview as shown in maltmans pic. there are a couple of sets on the "bay" including the gray ones(which are very nice for the price)however the rods do not extend out the ends to snap into the u brackets for center support.Same time period just differant model? They would of coarse work fine without the center supports or am I just missing something?

 

There is a rod that goes in each end.

 

Shorty: There aren't any mounts into which you'd snap the ends.They float free. The end supports near the mirror in the photo by Maltman are not stock, they were added by "others."

 

ok. I just get a little nervous buying online if the part does not seem quite the same as I think it should.That,s why you guys are invaluble. Hope everyone has a very merry Christmas and a great New Year

 

My parts and accessories catalog lists part numbers for 1959/ padded visor
clips B9A-5704132-A
pins B8A-7004114-A
although the repops I purchased are not the padded style and do not have a place for the pins.
And the plastic re-poped clips I have seen offered have only a single hole. My cab has two vertical dimples.
I have seen metal clips with rubber coated tips and two vertical holes (that match my cabs dimples) that appear to be original in other trucks. (mine only had the drivers side paper type visor and no clip when I bought it in 1970)
Now that should be clear as mud huh!
Maybe numberdummy AKA Bill will cruise through here and straiten us up.

 

yep. Looks like this is one of those rare times when one could go either way and be alright.

 

Here's my 59 Custom Cab visor with a filthy old mirror.
