I've been wanting a visor for my 1950 half ton but don't know which style to buy. I've seen Fultons in both the V-shaped and the curved styles. Seems like the curved one would work best with my cab but I looked closely and the cab roof V's right above the chrome windshield divider bar, so maybe a V-shaped visor would would work as well.

Which style was made for my truck?

Thanks!

Get the Fulton/Fulton style with the V. That's the one I have seen on most AD trucks. They are adjustable at the center section. I looked for almost a year and finally scored one off e-bay for just under 250.00 shipped. It's in sweet condition with no cracks or breaks in the metal. That sure beats 499 for a new reproduction.

Take a look at the visor on My 52..I had to modify it to
appear as it if...I hammer formed the "V" to follow the roof peak.
I also cut about 1 1/2 inches from the top of the visor...
I also tried a Fulton first, but it distracted from the round AD
lines...My visor is a 49-50 Chevrolet car visor, and was a GM accessory...

Take a look at mine on my site listed below. Bought it from a guys who sold 55 thru 57 chevy parts. He said he picked it up at a sale, but didn't know what vehicle it came from. Bought it for $50, adjustable in the middle, attaches to center piece on windshield, and drip rails.Seemed to fit perfect to me!!!

Seems like the one with the V in it is the way to go, so I'll call the fellow tomorrow and make him an offer.

Thanks for the input guys.

Dads50, was yours the rounded type against the cab or did it have a V in it?

Is this what you mean by rounded? ...pic...

The one I have uses the windshield division bar to clamp to. ...pic...

Mine is not a fulton brand. It has no markings on the end buttons

I was referring to the edge that mounts against the cab. Some appear to be rounded, to fit the contour of the cab, and others have a "V" shape to them. Most pictures are of the front of the visor. Rarely do you see one of how it butts up against the cab.

Thanks Dads50 for your nice reply complete with useful pics!!
