First my thanks for all the wonderful advice, parts and direction this site has provided in the reconstruction of my 1952 3/4 ton.

I have had a Gear Vendors overdrive and a 4:10 rear installed so doing 70 mph is now pretty easy. I also have one of those exterior steel reproduction sun visors installed.

So for those of you with steel sun visors, what's a safe speed limit to keep the unit from tearing off?

I know guys that run them and drive over 80 MPH lots with no problems. I would just periodically check it to make sure it stays tight and secure.

Mine is made of aluminum. I didn't think speed would be an issue, hope to get mine on soon.
