Michael -

I found my visor at a swap meet in Arkansas.  It was a NOS GMC Sunvisor
in the original container with mounting instructions and hardware.   It
has two steel sections with a SS center strip and mounting bracket to
fit on the center windshield trim.  It was painted eyeshade green on the
underside.  It attached to the rain gutter with two small self tapping
phillips machine screws on each side.   There are no other markings on
it except the GMC dealer mounting instructions so I am assuming it was
supposed to be some kind of dealer installed aftermarket sunvisor.  It
looks like it was manufactured in the late 40's or early 50's.  I
actually paid $35. for it!   I added the "chrome" trim that appears on
the outer edge of it using plastic door edging strips.

Tom,

Nice truck.

I have what appears to be the same visor.  I have not seen it before and I
don't think that its a Fulton.

How does it mount?  Mine is aluminum with a stainless joining strip in the
center.  Is yours the same?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
