phantom309 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 It seems that nobody is making metal visors for the B model. Here's a link to a discussion on the topic.http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?showtopic=11271&view=&hl=visor&fromsearch=1Here's some pictures of one that we built.

phantom309 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 wow man that looks really nice. would you make more to sell?No, I'm way too busy and besides they really should be made out of stainless. We used aluminum because it was easier to work with.The visor itself is pretty simple, building the brackets is the time consuming part. It seems like there's dozens of companies making hundreds if different visors for Peterbilts. You'd think ONE of them could stamp out some B model visors.
