I have a 54 exterior visor that I bought years ago that was a near-NOS unit. NOS, then painted, then didn't ever get mounted. I have a question as to how the stainless strip is supposed to be affixed to the visor. Is it riveted? Does it use sheet metal screws or machine bolts? I can't tell if the stainless strip on mine has been removed and reattached when it was painted. The underside still has the original green flat paint in tact. I would be really grateful if anyone could take a couple pics of their original unit and email them to me. [email protected] Thanks in advance!

Is this a Fulton visor? If so, you can take it apart, usually with a screwdriver, to see inside.
Question #2, Do you also have the cowl mounting bracket?,or, is this the "ballcap" style visor?

Be careful calling yourself a expert,because an "EX" is a hasbeen and a"SPERT" is a drip under pressure.

This is the correct dealer option GM visor. I'm not sure who made them for GM. It's the 54/55 1st series specific visor. It has a cast chromed center mount that is bolted to the center of the cab above the windshield, and then the sides are mounted to the drip rails at the front of the doors.

Check in the gallery, I know there are some photos of others that have that same visor, then shoot them a PM.

You can look at Joe Mendola's '54 or Wally54,in the Gallery, both have visors that I think you might be looking at.
