Thanks

They are adjustable for width. The end brackets came in two styles that I'm familiar with and both will work on most bodies. The main determiner that I'm aware of is the center support. If a visor is made to fit a vehicle with a split windshield it likely won't work on a vehicle without a split windshield since part of the structural support are the two center supports that clamp to the windshield divider. If someone here has made one work I'm sure they'll chime in with how they did it. Fulton instructions.

Is a 100 a good price for this? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,517 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,517 | It really depends on the kind of visor. If it were a Fulton(which its not) 100.00 would probably be a good price,depending on how much bracketry it needed.
On other visors, , some of the mounting brackets can be hand made,depending on how good you are working with your hands and bending/forming sheet metal or stainless steel sheet metal. Maybe by the time you get done making the brackets,or having them made,youd be better off spending the extra 150-200 and getting something complete and ready to bolt on.

Which would be the best for 50 Chevy Pickup application? Thanks and sorry to piggy back topic.

It is steel, adjustable, aftermarket, no fulton markings on the end buttons. I still have it. I like the look and may put it back on. Kind hard to see the traffic lights with them. They sell a dash mount reflector to help with that. Good Luck | | | | | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 164 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 164 | Dads50 Thats what I'm looking for. It doesnt' have to be a fulton.
Thanks

modifications to it...1. I did not use the upper stainless steel
molding, plus I removed about 1 inch off the top of visor to allow
clearance of roof...2. The roof on the truck has a peak that I extended into the visor...I installed a Fulton visor, then promptly
removed it, as it did not appear well because the AD has rounded
fenders...This is My opinion only, I just didn't care for the Fulton visor... | | |
