#1.. the visor slips between the moulding, the rust holes became an issue, either I am selling it or repairing it w/ the roof from another truck that I got, the trouble is that I had the truck for over 10 yrs and it is like letting your most reliable, best friend go!.... can't decide just yet??

#3 I kind of got out of the real high speed travelling, but cruising w/ traffic at 80 mph+ I don't seem to notice any rattle. I applied a silicone sealer beneath the visor prior to application and I also used barrel nuts to mount the visor, in lieu of the standard screws. I can tell you this...above 35 mph, you relly don't see snow flakes touch the w/s and very little rain gets there either...must be the bug deflector and all that 'structure' sticking out in front! I once saw the reflection of the truck on the side of a RV that I was passing and the bug shield was bent almost all the way back against the hood and the cb antennaes had a 'little' angle to them also.

73f100shortbed, actually I am down near the shore, Seaside Heights area, the screen name comes from having too many fords, something like 9 or so, I try not to keep an accurate count to prevent a 'Freudian' slip and my wife find out, I have them at different locations!! The really good pic is when I re-did the s/c, now there is some rust poking through, I am debating whether to sell her or not, I have the metal to fix it, just no time, I am concentrating on the '77 crew cab and the '78 Bronco. This site gives me some enthusiasism to finish them but it also makes me want to keep 'ALL' that I have now and collect some more for the fleet. These guys have some really sweet rides and projects going!
