Shoot there was a post here this past week of a Big Job Effie that had one! I can't remember which one it was though.

If you are thinking of a sunvisor, I would recommend a Deluxe Fulton for a 42 Plymouth. Most of the Fultons you see are "V" shaped to fit the 49-51 Fords and Chevys. They look HORRIBLE on our flat windshield trucks. The Plymouth Visor is flat across the front. Also they are aluminum and adjustable.

Or possible a 52-54 solid one piece Ford Steel Visor. The problem with the Ford visor is if it doens' fit, you'll have to cut and weld it in the center.

See my gallery for Sunvisor installation. Mine is a Plymouth Deluxe Fulton.

If I find that picture I'll let you know.

Sundown

If you could possibly somehow temporarily affix that sunvisor to your truck I'd love to see a pic of that. I can't recall when I last saw a visor on a mid fifties F100. Not common around here.

Goodluck Tom

Shouldn't be a problem. I will get on it this weekend for you guys and snap a couple pics.

The guy i bought the truck from claims the visor was a after factory option from the dealer... sure looks like the brakets where there for awhile!

no plans on using it at this point. I wasn't much of a fan of the visors on fords. Love em on chevys though. Let me get you all some pics and then you can decide if its something you want.

Just a couple






This is a mt54's truck, I think it's a pretty sweet idea:

1954 Ford F100 4x2 - Body work
