Bigdogtrucker Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Does anybody make/sell the metal Australian style cab visors,or are the Lund style fiberglass the only option?

vision386 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Just my opinion,but i personally would'nt put a Lund or any other type visor on a B-model,just looking for problems with rust,fit etc. and to my eye they just don't look right,again'just my two cents.........................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

Maddog13407 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 i think mine looks pretty good but too each their own. yes rust is an issue also and the lund ones needs some cutting and sanding around the top to get them to clear the marker lights. i think it depends on the truck also and the color of the truck. far as i know no one is sellin the aussie stainless type.

Freightrain Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Not bad, would like to have some kind of visor on my truck. I like the one Jim made for his lil blue car hauler. Wonder if they make them in Stainless steel?? Or I could paint it silver? Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Rob Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Bringing this visor idea back to the top. I'm going to be following up for pricing this week. Any other interest from the membership to get a bulk shipping price for all of them. Might save some money.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

HeyCharger Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Hi guys. I bought one of these years ago. Reasonably priced and so far no rust. I have though, installed a stabilising rod from the area behind the bonnet (hood) up to the centre. Very cheap to make and install. I was a little afraid that as these monolithic road-trains go past that their bow-wave would blast my visor off. This company is only about 45mins away from me, so if I can help let me know. Rod.

Rod.Hi Rod, hope all is well with you as it's been a while since you've posted. So far we have an interest in three of these and am glad yours seems to be holding up well. Can you attach a photo of the brace you installed?Also, did you get power steering installed onto your B model?Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

761 Brock Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Just a question for Rod. The visor for the R/RW , is it the same one as I've seen in photos of the trucks down your way? If so, am also interested in one. The one I'm thinking of comes down flat in front of windshield for about 6 in or so. Wish I could find a pic or download a pic to show you what I mean. Some of the guys put the MACK letters on it above the windshield.Thanks, Clay Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23876-b-model-sunvisors/#findComment-110133 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumperAndSon Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 My dad says absolutely no way we're putting a visor on the B60, but I really like the look of a visor on a B model. Someday I'm going to get my own dang B model, and put my own dang visor on it.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23876-b-model-sunvisors/#findComment-111191 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's like 8 B models down the road from me that a guy bought and scrapped the back halfs off of, like that U model. Someday, I would like to buy at least a few of them. You should see if Doug will sell you that visor, I think it would look good on your truck.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23876-b-model-sunvisors/#findComment-111195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
