Look on ebay, but yes get a lund because they are wind tunnel tested. I got mine on the classified's here for like $50.

I'm told 72 & up to 93 Crew Cab & Club Cab are the same and Ramcharger MAY interchange.
The standard cab version is different starting around 1981 because of the different roof line.

"Moonvisors" illuminated, from the Lund catalog:
1990-93 Full size, extended cab pickup Part# 19025 $251.80
1981-93 Full size, standard cab pickup Part# 19000 $251.80
1981-93 Ram Charger/Trail Duster Part# 19037 $251.80
1972-80 Ram Charger/Trail Duster Part# 19042 $251.80

NO! They are specific to a first gen. ALSO NOTE: Ext. Cabs and Reg cabs require different visors! the roof line is quite a bit different.

Edit: I feel real smart now that I see Trebor already explained this in the last post. lol

I had a visor on my truck when I first purchased it, took it off what with all the roof rust these things get without any additional holes punched into the roof.

Anyone have pics of a big-rig style visor on a first gen? I saw a stainless steel one on a 4x2 reg cab dually, drove around the block to get another look but there wasn't a convenient place to park. I commute on I-80 so I check out the big rigs, helps me stay awake. I'd like to have that style with some little pinpoint LED's for clearance lights mounted on the visor.

That is what I have been thinking about too but I am not sure what visor would fit best there are so many.

Just my $.02 . The lund visors seem to "lift" going at highway speed. I prefer the summit or JC Whitney style better. The leading edge had a different shape than the lund and they don't seem to want to sail nearly as bad.
