The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Looking for a Fulton 807 for my 1950 1-ton

Hey guys/gals;
I'd really like to put a sun visor on my 1950 3800 and I've been reading about the original Fulton visors and understand that the 807 model was designed for the AD trucks, while the 800 was designed for cars. Would really like to find an 807 - anyone have any leads? Have seen reference to a member named "Mother Trucker" but can't find a web site and it looks like that member has been inactive for a couple of years. Advice?

I always thought the shades were butt-ugly but just recently I have seen the light... er, shade... get it?

Follow-up question - Am I being overly cautious about getting an 807? Will the 800 fit just as nicely and nobody will be the wiser? I've read horror stories about aftermarket 800s, and then other stories from folks saying they fit great.

The end brackets are malleable aluminum and can be made to work with about any body style. The visors are also adjustable to a wide range of widths. To me the important thing to consider is whether you need a center support or not.

Ah, so its an easy fix to get the 800 to work. I'm good with a hammer, as the numerous bruises on my thumb will confirm, shouldn't be too tough. Thanks for the advice Tiny.

The Fulton I have has the type of bracket shown here scrolling over half way down. The caption is "S Shape Flange". My body style should have had the bracket shown here in "Step 3" and "Step 9A" where the top bracket foot is closer to the middle of the bracket. Because of the workability of the bracket aluminum we were able to form the upper foot to conform to the curve of the door frame. Just be sure to leave about a 3" gap across the back edge to allow free passage of the air.

Hi Bruce, Did you ever have any luck finding a Fulton 807 for your 1950? I have a 1950 3600 and am also looking for a visor. Any ideas of where to look other than buying a new repro?

WishekBruce has not been here in two years. Good luck on getting him to answer your questions. I know you are new but if you will check the original posters profile before you revive a 3 year old thread, you will find many of them are no longer around. Welcome.
