accessory questions-shelf, side visors, diamond side door thresholds

[pybyr]

My 1989 truck is in extraordinary shape for its age, but could use a little spring cleaning and sprucing up- since many of you are very familiar with this series truck and the range of various accessories for it, where to find them, I'd like to pick your brains on your favorite of the following, including ones you might have yourself but that you'd go with if you were looking now.

Strong preference for USA-made products when possible (I like to recycle my dollars here close to home). Price _is_ a factor (sky is not the limit on the current budget) but at the same time, I'd rather buy a quality product once than buy a cheapo that I have to re-purchase or replace later.

So, here's what I wouldn't mind finding/ keeping an eye out for

(1) stainless steel visors for the side windows that allow you to crack the windows, both parked and rolling, without light rain coming in.

(2) behind-seat storage racks- shelves, etc; bonus if it might have room for or be adaptable for a rifle or shotgun or fishing rod for certain seasons of the year;

(3) small but quality/ reliable fire extinguisher for behind or under the seat.

(4) metal, non-rusting diamond-pattern or other non-slip thresholds/ kick-plates, or whatever you call them, that go just inside the front driver and passenger door/ floor, just above the rocker panel, to protect the edge of the base floor mat

Thanks!

ive been kicking around making some thresh hold plates...my truck could use a set...i got to order some material...would there be any other interest in these if i were to make them from diamond plate (steel or aluminum)


the SS visors were a stamped item that you drilled holes into the door frame and screwed them in....they used to be made by auto ventshade.

i dont know of anywhere that still offeres any kind of behind the seat storage unit..

LMC Truck would have all that stuff. I get their catalogue.

Thanks- I might be interested in stainless diamondplate threshold plates if I could afford them.

Anyone know of any second-hand behind-seat storage items or where to look? I looked in all of the many Ford (and GM and Dodge) 80s and 90s vintage trucks (pickups and cab and chassis) at the largest nearby salvage yard last October and did not spot any.

Thanks

*edit* i could do them from 16ga aluminum diamond plate reasonable
