They will fit, but you won't like it. Much Better to get them used or get a reproduction.

First, 1980-1996 visors are not as long as the original.

Second...

The 1980-1986 visors do not have a center pivot support . They are just attached from the Outer sides only. They notoriously wear out and sag in the middle. Whack your head while you drive down the road etc...

1987-1996 visors do have a center pivot. and is a great upgrade for a 1980-1986.

That's what I thought he meant too. Inside the cab.

Oh well, if he didn't then he's covered both ways.

You're prob'ly right, makes more sense but...
Ron, see how you changed it from singular to plural tho?

I was thinking singular and figure he's talking about
the "one" on the outside too. ;)

Exactly, plus he said it wasn't made for it, so I assumed he meant the outside ones..

Yes, a whole line of question marks has been posted before. ;)

Enough bull$%&...
There is so many things a guy can do, there seems to be no limit to it.
Many times -you- are the one that has to figure it out and then be the
ex-spurt when someone else asks. :) No kidding on that one. ;)

What happens more... a guy will ask, not get an answer, then go out
and figure it all out and -not bother- to post what he's learned. :(
Or bother to answer any questions about it either.

And then there's guys like me that post and rattle on way too stinkin
much! :/

Pity he isn't closer...I've got a brand new Lund visor with integrated cab lights sitting in the box in my garage for 73-79 trucks. I got it with the intention of installing it on Buford, but changed my mind after the fact. (I'm a bit retarded like that)
