Oh man don't get me started on stacks. Travis thinks he hates flatbeds? I would love to throw a hand grenade in the back of any truck I see with stacks! Talk about overcompensation and useless crap. I definitely get worked up over those wasteful things. Sorry Bill...you were saying? LOL

It has nothing to do with keeping the sun out for me, I just like the looks of the visors. The only thing I don't like about them is putting the holes in the cab. So, taking in consideration every one's input here, this is what I'm gonna do........put the flat bed back on, put the visor on, order me some spot lights and grab handles, run stacks up through the flatbed, and finish it all off with some nice graphics and big old tow mirrors! ..............

You can't work up the gumption to cut a hole in your bed, but you don't mind having holes all over the place in your cab all because of that visor and those lights on the side???? LOL A hole in my bed floor would be the least of my worries in that scenario.

Keep it up and I'll make a B line for West Virginia with a box of dynamite and some tannerite. Better hope the other 2 trucks don't take on collateral damage.

It wouldn't go on until after the bed is painted anyway. Maybe I'll change my mind between now and then.
