Sun Visors on a 1986 F250

[wildman7798]

Got a new windshield installed today and figured the natural order of things now will be to fix the sun visors. Not sure which guy at Ford thought he could design visors without a way to hold them up or keep them from flopping around but hopefully he has moved to a new line of work. Looking to see if anyone here has found another year of visor that will bolt into the 1980 to 1986 stock mounting holes and then rigged a stop or catch for them above the rear view mirror. I was thinking I might be able to use CB radio microphone holders, the little split fork looking brackets with 2 or 3 mounting holes in them. Dip them in liquid electric tape and put one up for each visor to hold them in place. I am really reaching here, somebody must have figured out how to fix Fords poor design on this by now.

I just took some sun visors from a 93 Fseries truck at a wrecker.. They fit in the stock three hole mount and I just drilled for the clip on the other end..

Here are some pics..

what he said. Go to your local pick it yard, broncos f150s, f250s, f350s, and the likes. I did that, I just havent put them in my truck yet.

One less 86 in the world with ever moving visors... These I believe were out of a 96, color was a little off but pretty close. Pictures aren't very good but out of focus ***** red might be a better thing. Thanks again for the upgrade tip.
