I purchased a Fulton Visor from Chevs of the 40s in 2014, it is steel and seems to be of good quality. Does anyone one have any experience with these visor's, are there any issues or problems with once installed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Mine was aluminum. If it gets installed correctly, it shouldn't give you any problems. Be careful when you stop for a traffic light, be sure you can see it from your stopped position. One more thing, I painted the underside of the visor in a flat paint, body colour, to reduce glare.

I have a genuine Fulton on my 51. Unless you're driving into the sun, it blocks a lot of light (as in you don't need to wear sunglasses). And there is plenty of gap between the rear of the visor and the body of the truck, so there is no issue of it catching air. I would venture to say the center mounts, (that clamp to the divider bar), are a must to keep it stable. I would hope the repro's would come with those.

Leo is correct on both though. You will have lean over to look up, if your first at the light. And for sure paint the underside in a flat.

Great advice, and yes the repo’s come with a center brace. I will definitely include this visor in my build. I plan to install a traffic light viewer purchase from Jim Carter , they mount on the dash. Not sure how effective they are.

Thanks Red
