I am using a Comet Sky Shield from the 50s. Had to shorten it and make brackets. Using riv-nuts in the body of the cab to mount it. Don't know of any made specifically for the F1. Not that hard to modify a 3 piece visor.
Hope this helps
Dan

If I have to narrow one I would rather do it with a Fulton or other that has the 3 piece with center section to hide trimming down the inside ends.
Mid-fifty carries visors for 53-56 but no love for 48-52... Sure would be nice if a company stepped up to the plate bet they would sell plenty of them, Heck a group buy here would net them some serious scratch.
There are some folks selling re-pop Fulton's for Chebbies on Ebag but that doesn't do us much good

I tried PM'ing arrowheadfred but his PM box is full
Yes, this thread is nine years old and Fred is no longer with us.

Not into visors at all but the resurrection of this thread gives me the occasion to reflect on Fred on how I miss his comic relief...one of the few people I know to have been banned from the HAMB....

A character indeed! My favorite I'll never forget is the photo he posted of his speedometer pointing at over 100mph. Driving one of these old trucks at 100 has to be handful enough without pulling out the phone to snap a pic of the speedo to prove it.

And remember, he was driving with only one leg!

Guys, out of forum and personal courtesy, no one ever called him on that speedometer shot. I strongly suspect it was a huge speedometer gearing mismatch. I've been there and experienced that mismatch with my own truck.
