Found this among other 36 parts at the swapmeet today and would like to find out what it came off of so I can get another,since my 37 p/u never came with any it seems to fit well.

That looks a lot like what came in a 36 standard car?

They are made of a Masonite material, not wood. '36 Standard, is correct. Master too???

The Naster was cloth covered.
Looks like the tall 1934 visor, 1935 and 1935 a ot narrower.

It does not look like it ever had any cloth on it.

1935 has all square corners. Yours looks like some '36 Standard visors I sold a few years ago. I don't know the size of your visor but the proportions look the same.
The problem with installing them in your truck is that the hinge end is not very strong. There were 2 sockets, like the one on your pin. One socket was above the windshield and one was above the door. I doubt you want to drill holes for these and I also doubt the hinge will last long if it must be the only support for the visor.
It never had any cloth. The ones I have seen seemed to have been painted with a wrinkle finish.

It will fit on the panel above the windshield,no matter which visor I use I will have to drill holes and its complete so it will not have to use only the hinge to support it. My neighbor has a 37 car and those visors would require a larger hole so I think the 36 on back visor should work just fine.

Jeff,
The point I was trying to make is that if you want to hinge the visor to block light from your left, there would need to be another socket above the drivers door. You can make it work, for sure. I'm just warning you to not let it hang from the hinge. I have a jar full of those broken hinges from visors and parts I have gathered.

I will have to look into another socket but doubt I will move it to where I would need one.
