Don't know who's visor you have but most use a bracket on each end to the windshield post. Otherwise they would fold back like a cheap toupe as soon as you got up to speed.

If it's the one he lists for the 53-55 PU, it does look like the ends bolt directly to the windshield post without any brackets. Does it not fit in such a way that you could attach it directly?

The fiberglass visor that Big Jim's offer bolts directy to the A-pillar. No brackets. I was intersted in a visor for my 55 and am in the process of fabricating one from .080 aluminum.

I have an original NOS one I installed on my panel about 6 years ago, and it has 2 side brackets and a center support, for what it's worth.

No, but I'll try to take some good ones. If you go to my gallery you can see it from afar.

I bought it from a guy in Minnesota about 7 years....his dad worked at the Ford plant in St.Paul, and somehow this fellow had 3 of them. I wish I had the $ to then buy an extra one.

It came in the original box, which for some dumb reason I have saved, wrapped in original burlap bag, with instructions and even a copy of the invoice showing all 3 being shipped to a Ford dealer in Minneapolis.

He sold all 3, I later found out after calling back when I had some $. That means there are 2 other guys with them who apparently aren't on this forum.

Makes you wonder about the whole world of guys with these trucks who we know nothing about.
