Re: 55-59 Fleet - Single Driver sun Visor

It looks good and blocks the sun when needed life is good.

This is one reason that I will never restore any vehicle to original though. Too much nonsense on what is exactly correct for said vehicle. That said, I am a bit of a stickler in that if you tell me that you "restored" your truck I expect i to be exactly as it would have sat in the showroom or on the dealers lot the day it was sold new with only factory or dealer option accessories or period for when it was new accessories and that includes wheels.

I'd imagine that that burlap covered visor was done at an upholstery shop at some time maybe when the seat was recovered with original material and unless you are going to be in judged shows showing as a perfectly original truck in competition where it might cost you points it shouldn't be an issue.
