  Not sure exactly what this visor was off of. I was told it came off a 1948 Cadillac. But it's ability to have it's pitch adjustable would be something to be desired.  
  Factory driver's side indented rear fender. 1953 was the first year for the side mounted spare tire carrier. This will probably be one of the few "year correct" accessories I plan on adding to the truck. 1953 was not a good year for availability of dealer & factory accessories.  
  I managed to pick up a set of stainless steel interior door mouldings off a 1951 pickup truck. Pretty cool, since 1951 was the only year that I've seen with stainless steel mouldings, with the notch for the vent windows.  
  I mounted the 1969 truck tilt column. The lower column mount is using a modified 1972 chevy truck lower bracket. I wish I would have taken off the rag before taking this picture. O'well, can't win them all.  
  The Fulton Sun Shields have some nice features, such as being adjustable. But they are also dime-a-dozen. Pretty much every truck I've seen that has an exterior visor on it, is a Fulton Sun Shield. I wanted something a bit different, so I choose this visor instead.  
  The grille looks funny because two of the outer vertical supports are missing.  
  No frills shot of the driver's side vent window. It's fairly popular, now a days, to remove them or put the doors from a 1947 through 1950 pickup truck, suburban or panel truck on, to eliminate the vent windows. Their are even some kits around that also will eliminate the vent windows. Personally, with vent windows be a thing of the past, I kind of like them.  
  The hole for the gas filler is definately going. I'm a little surprised & alarmed that these gas tanks where installed in the cab. While it's fairly safe to say that the tank probably won't rupture in an accident, the thought of gas spewing or gas fumes leaking out anywhere near where I'm sitting is just terrifying.
