Its going to be hard to find. Unless you hit up ebay, those lund visors you are referencing are no longer made for these trucks. I was sad too as I love those suckers.

I was actually plannin on makin my own stainless steel visor like you see on Peterbilts or Kenworths. I was wantin to see people that had or have a visor weather it be the fiberglass or steel so I can get more references. Like I said my search really didnt draw much on our trucks.

Look at my garage, my 86 has a visor that was on it when I bought it in 1995, that's where the name "Darth Vader" came from.

Those lunds are sexy. Hey 00, I thought about what you were talking about here, a while back.

I was going to take measurements of my window area. Length, height, width mock them out on cardboard and then cut a fiberglass shell for that. In the inside of the visor I contemplated running cross braces made out of a plastic. After that I point I was going to cut out an inset area for a cablight. Not real sure what you are trying to get at, but there is an option if you like custom.

I do have one I took off a scrapper if someone is looking to get one. I like the look, but have been told they drop fuel mileage due to the drag from the air flowing into them. The big rig style may reduce the drag a bit, as they are more open than the Lund visors are.
