Danny G Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 OK so been away for a bit, just got back into town from NY for the holidays and contracted Flu B... Yay... And I had the shot back in October. But on topic. After my fever dream hibernation today I realized I had ordered 16" visor brackets from LMC truck for the 1987+ model years. I knew these were longer than mine but hoped they were the same diameter etc. The good news is they fit. They are longer by a bit but it's ok the replacement visors are more than long enough to accommodate them. There are a few differences there are some cut outs on the bar and the drop is a bit lower. The spring is held in with a screw instead of being pressed in. All in all for $8.95ea I am a happy camper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Sorry about the flu! But glad the visor bars work. Looks like that is a good solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't miss that the later visors with the inboard clips will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't miss that the later visors with the inboard clips will work. Inside clips offer a lot of support (obviously) yet you can still swing the visors over to the side if needed. Though I can't ever remember actually using them that way. Soon enough the rising and setting sun will be in my eyes when driving. Not sure how I feel about that but longer days are always better.... to a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next experiment is to either try a clip with the old style bracket or make a "clip" using neodymium magnets. If they loosen up these new ones have a screw so in theory you should be able to replace the spring or tighten it down as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 My '87's are vinyl... Yep - the ones I have for Big Blue are vinyl. Don't remember what they came off of, but I do know that only the high-end trucks, like Lariats, got the cloth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that upgraded interiors back then had carpet added to the doors and cloth visors. Now a days leather and vinyl are considered premium interior trim.
