 Photos of what I'm looking for  are below. You'll have to open them.
 It appears to me that this visor "board" (what is the correct name?) works on either side, by flipping it over. I believe what I have is a right/pass.side If that assumption is wrong, someone please correct me.
I need just one, but if in fact there are Lefts and Rights, I need a Left/Driver side, and would buy a Left and Right if available.

Hope the photos post, I had a difficult time with IMGUR. Pictures are poor at best. Don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Please send a PM if you have visors you will part with.
Thanks

I don't have mine anymore, I replaced the visors themselves with some from a 70's (?)Caddilac, but used the original shafts and garnish corner piece. I can find pics of mine if you want options. ( w/ mirrors and lights)
I'm curious about your build, John. Where are you at on it? I haven't seen pictures for a long time.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

Rich, I'm in line for getting it painted. The painter says it will be about Aug 1 or Sept 1 before he will be ready for it. He does one car at a time, and it takes 4 months. Glass is ordered. Working on finalizing the interior materials. The carpet is still a problem, but I believe I have a way to make it work.
As to the visors, I looked into using late model visors, but decided to keep the original style, but they will be upholstered.

Like I said, I had a difficult time with IMGUR. When I click on the "pictures", they pop right up.
Hugh, please send me an address, and I 'll forward the photos.
Thank you!

John.since you mentioned "will be upholstered".that's one reason I went with the Cadilac sunvisors.no sew upholstered! They poped open like a clamshell, so no seams to get sewn. Here's some pics:

Thanks Rich.......Very nice. I'm going to stay with the original style. I've polished up two very thin pieces of Stainless Steel and they will be installed as "Mirrors" on the visors. No lights.
The fella that will be doing the upholstery work is a local guy and a friend, that did quite a few cars for Boyd Coddington.....he is very talented, so I'm comfortable he won't have a problem with the visors.

I used the hardboard from Homedepot and it fit the same as the original.  I even carefully pulled and used the old staples.  This was on my F100 visor.

Abe........Thanks for your reply. Very good idea. My issue is that I need a pair of visors and only have one.
I have one on the way from Terry, and if the hardboard needs to be replaced I'll try your method of using the original staples.

How timely I was just in mine and saw one is broken.  I had some old door panels I was going to cut to shape and cover,  I may check out Rich Muise's that looks great.
