xdudebrahx Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I put an ad in the wanted section but that doesn't seem to get much traffic. I need a fiberglass square style Lund visor for an R cab. If it's faded red that would be a bonus pm me or reply here.Sorry in advance if this isn't allowed.

Vladislav Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 So no one want to make aftermarket reproductions? Seems like the demand exists. I get that on mind myself and see not much of a trouble to fabricate them locally. But it would have reason to be done as at least 10-20 pieces serie. No market for them in Russia and I'm not full of an idea of how to ship them overseas.

b68 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I thought Lund made them but I got a few Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44138-need-an-r-cab-visor/#findComment-326658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Lund is out of business. bought out by AVS. Auto ventshade company. The 23 year old pencil pushers behind the desk probably don't see a need to make visors for anything old anymore. you think an R is hard, try finding a B model. I know there is a company by me that could probably make one out of fiberglass if they had one to work with. dunno how legal that would be .....

ranchhopper Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I was at a junk yard a days drive from me and pulled five from the yard trucks and I bet they had at least ten more still on trucks all over the yard.

harrybarbon Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I have spoken and emailed the general manger of the company that took over the old Lund company. He told me that through 4 or 5 floods the old moulds for the various Lund big truck, Mack Inter etc, fiberglass visors were lost or destroyed. He said that there was no demand for the Lund fiberglass visors for the big trucks, whereas they do make the fiberglass visors for pick utes, SUV's and the like. I asked the guy would the company mind or approve someone making copies of the old Lund visors for our use or sale to the old truck restorers, he said they have no objection whatsoever and there would be no legal issues. I did get his approval in writing via email maybe 2 years ago, I will try find the email, to protect ourselves just in case.

xdudebrahx Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 I know you can still get the pickup ones, but I think they're sold under the name "keystone truck styling" or something like that. I've just always thought that a truck without a visor looks like it has a receding hairline lol Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44138-need-an-r-cab-visor/#findComment-326964 Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrybarbon Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 also Watts had some replicas made for the B model cab, however the front of the visor was a rounded finish, the Lund visor was a square shape Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44138-need-an-r-cab-visor/#findComment-327096 Share on other sites More sharing options...
