Gangster cap`s
Does anyone have pictures in their gallery (or homepage) of a gangster cap for a 56`?
Just wondering what it looks like. Were there any F-100`s with oem gangster cap? PS: not really sure if this is the real name for it, but Gangster cap is a External sunvisor over the front window. |

IMHO, those things really give the truck a heavy, stodgy look. When I see one, I expect to see a 47-54 Chevy pickup underneath it.
To answer your questions, it will look bad, and I don't know if it was available OEM; I doubt it. |

Yep, that's pretty dorky looking allright and definitely NOT the look I'm going for. I was unable to find another picture...:(

The first truck for sale on that link is a '54 with a visor. Never heard it called a gangster cap either. |
I always thought of it as a sun viser, never heard it called a "Gangster Cap" tho I find the term quite comical
I agree it looks dorky, and have mainly seen them on the 5 window chev trucks |
yeah.
All of you who don`t like this type of visor are right. It does look like **** on this kind of truck. Was hopin it would be as cool as the ones i`ve seen on model a tudor`s , but no . thanks guys for links to the pics. you all saved me from buying crap ! later...... |
...and nah it ain't no *@#$ gen-X thang, dawg! You straight got me trippin', boo! *****! :-D Man, I lived on the wrong side of town for too long! ...and now I'm in Kansas....
I think it's just a word used by the mexicanos...the low riders who put every JC Whitney accesory on their '39 Chevys! Although I can't help myself, I dig the real lowriders. But I digress.... |
I must tell you that I have seen nice models of gangster caps. A few years ago during Power meet in Västerås in Sweden I observed a very nice sun visor on a early fiftie Ford pickup. It was made like the swedish old Volvo duett sun visor. Blue double plexi fields with crome frame around and a center part in crome. But it was bigger than Duett models. I think it was a modified sun visor from a larger Volvo truck. It was the most classic and perfect design I ever have seen. Lycka till

There is one presently available on an ebay auction (2454083567) that is stated to be for 52-54 Ford car or truck. It is at $150 with three days remaining. I wouldn't put it on my truck.
