Truck Brows
I can't really seem to find any info on brows. Does anybody still make them? Were there even that many of them to start?

Re: Truck Brows
Okay, thanks, I'll look into that. Am I correct in them being called brows or do they have another name?

Re: Truck Brows
Be advised that those visors increase highway drag by a large amount. Back in the '50's somebody road tested an Olds with the new V-8. Difference in top speed: with visor, about 90. Without visor almost 95 MPH! So, guess what that does to your gas mileage?

Re: Truck Brows
Personally I think they should be left in the 80's, but thats just me. Just so you know, they are prone to leaking, and promote rust as well.

Re: Truck Brows
If you want to have real fun, put on a visor AND a straight bug deflector. Hit 70 MPH going down the road, and watch the visor get torn off.(Did this in the late '80s when it was "cool" to bolt every gadget imaginable onto a truck).

Re: Truck Brows
Here's the trick to customizing anything: If you're going to put (let's say) Buick portholes on your vehicle, be sure to put 'em where nobody else has! That's not me talking, it's a quote from somebody's article in Motor Trend magazine back in the fifties!

It seems like everbody that has one of these says they cause rust like crazy. Anybody know why they do this? I would think if they were installed correctly you wouldn't have a problem. Posted via Mobile Device
