Who has a visor on their K5? Lets see it

[Drumer73]

I got a good deal on a used Lund Moonvisor and just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on a Visor(windshield Visor,Lund) lighted and not lighted? Do they make noise going down the highway? I always liked the look of them, like the truck is wearing a hat. Am I setting myself up for trouble down the road, it makes me a little uneasy screwing something into my roof. Any tips for the install would greatly be appreciated. Also if you have a truck with a visor, show it off and post a picture.

Thanks
Tom

I think they look alright. I got one with a parts truck a few years back. Can't bring myself to install it on anything though. They really kill the gas milage too. Even when towing it on a trailer or flat towing...they kill it even more so on the tow vehicle.

Don't do it.

I have one on a Suburban because it was on there when I bought it. I wouldn't screw one onto a roof that didn't already have the holes.

I have one Ill see if I can find a pic. I think from 1973 up to 2000 they make the truck look more like a truck.

And that would be why they fit nicely on that era of truck

I kind of like them, but then again I drove trucks OTR for awhile they all had them too.

I have a used Lund unit w/lights that came on my donor truck. My M1009 body had an absolutely perfect roof and windshield area with NO holes whatsoever. There was no way I was going to drill one hole in my roof. The one I have is for sale if someone wants it. In a dryer climate I wouldn't think there would be as many issues of here in the NE for the risks of rust and rot through.

Here are my before and after pictures.

Don't do it. I had one and the screw holes leaked causing the whole windshield frame to rot out. Granted it took a number of years but still. My mileage improved by about 2mpg when I took mine off.

Last fall I looked at an 86 K10 long box, 4" lift, 35" tires and it had a Lund moonvisor, under neath the visor it was severely rusted all the way across.

My cousin who works at a glass place often times replaces wind shields on large highway trucks, often times they find rust under the visors.

Something about that just looks dead ass secksy. Been thinking about doing something similar. Think I want some type of walls though.

I have one that was on it when I bought it. I'm too lazy to pull it, weld holes and so on. I sort of like the look, but now it has sort of grown on me for the shade that it sometimes gives. I have also drvien big rigs for 20+ yrs. though. Just make sure if you install it to seal the screws and reseal if you pull it to change the windshield at some time.
