Factory-Grain Sun Visor Pads for 1973-1979 Ford F-Series Trucks and 1978-1979 Bronco

Restoring the interior of a classic Ford truck is often about getting the details right. A fresh dash, new door panels, carpet, and upholstery can completely transform a cab, but aged components overhead can quickly reveal just how many decades your truck has been on the road.

Auto Metal Direct is continuing to expand its line of 1973-1979 Ford F-Series restoration parts with an all-new Black Vinyl Sun Visor Pad Set for 1973-1979 Ford F100, F150, F250, and F350 pickups and 1978-1979 Ford Bronco models.

More importantly for restorers, these aren't generic replacement visors adapted to fit several applications. The new sun visor pads are manufactured using all-new AMD tooling and feature the correct factory-style grain texture, giving Ford truck enthusiasts another option for restoring their interiors with the authentic appearance these trucks deserve.

Bringing the Dentside Ford Interior Back to Life

The 1973-1979 Ford F-Series—often referred to by enthusiasts as the Dentside Ford truck—has become one of the most popular generations of classic Ford pickups to restore, preserve, and customize.

As these trucks have grown in popularity, the expectations for restoration parts have grown with them.

Sun visors are a perfect example.

Original visor pads have spent nearly five decades exposed to heat, sunlight, temperature changes, and regular use. Even on otherwise well-preserved trucks, the original vinyl can become faded, discolored, warped, or damaged.

Finding a usable original isn't necessarily the answer, either. A used visor may look better than the one you're replacing, but you're still working with a component that's several decades old.

AMD approached these sun visor pads the same way we approach our premium classic car body panels and other restoration components: start with dedicated tooling and reproduce the details that matter.

The new AMD Sun Visor Pad Set for 1973-1979 Ford trucks is manufactured from all-new Auto Metal Direct tooling.

That investment allows AMD to control the shape, dimensions, surface detail, and overall appearance of the finished component rather than relying on an existing universal design.

For anyone who has restored classic trucks for any length of time, this matters.

Interior components sit close to the driver and are viewed every time you get behind the wheel. Differences in texture, shape, and finish that might seem minor on paper can become obvious once the part is installed next to original or properly restored components.

That's why one of the most important details of these new visor pads is the surface itself.

Correct Factory-Style Grain

AMD reproduced these visor pads with the correct factory-style grain texture to help maintain an authentic appearance inside the cab.

The pads are finished in black vinyl over a padded core and supplied as a matching driver- and passenger-side pair.

For a factory-inspired restoration, that grain helps the new visors blend naturally with the rest of the interior instead of looking like an obvious aftermarket replacement.

For a driver or restomod, it simply gives the interior a cleaner, more finished appearance.

That combination makes these visor pads equally appropriate for a carefully restored F100 or a custom Dentside where the owner still wants the interior details to respect Ford's original design.

Applications from F100 to F350—and Bronco

AMD developed the new visor pads to cover a broad range of Ford's popular 1970s truck lineup. The new sun visor pad set fits 1973-1979 Ford F100, 1975-1979 Ford F150, 1973-1979 Ford F250, and 1973-1979 Ford F350. The set also fits 1978-1979 Ford Bronco.

That makes the new visor pads an important addition to AMD's growing selection of Ford F100 replacement parts and restoration components for the second-generation full-size Bronco.

Designed as a Pair

Both the left-hand driver-side and right-hand passenger-side visor pads are included.

Replacing the visors as a pair helps provide consistent color, grain, condition, and appearance across the windshield—particularly important when refreshing an interior where the originals have faded differently over the years.

Don't Overlook the Supporting Components

When you're restoring original sun visors, it's worth looking beyond the pads themselves.

AMD also offers related sun visor brackets and center anchor components for these Ford truck applications. Available black and chrome bracket options make it possible to address worn, missing, damaged, or cosmetically tired components elsewhere in the visor system.

If you're already restoring the headliner, windshield area, or upper portion of the cab, taking care of these pieces at the same time can help create a much more complete finished appearance.

Check the Related Products section on the product page for the correct sun visor brackets and center anchor components for your application.

Another Piece of AMD's Expanding Ford Truck Interior Line

AMD has long been known throughout the restoration industry for premium sheet metal and classic car body panels, but today's Auto Metal Direct catalog reaches well beyond exterior sheet metal.

We're continuing to develop the smaller trim and interior components enthusiasts need to complete their vehicles—not just repair the body.

For the 1973-1979 Ford F-Series in particular, that means continuing to expand the availability of quality automotive restoration parts for an increasingly important segment of the classic truck market.

A great restoration shouldn't stop at the sheet metal.

It should carry the same attention to detail through the doors, dash, trim, controls, and even the sun visors above your head.
