west coast mirrors question

Looking to buy some west coast mirrors. Does the 60's - the early 70's west coast mirrors fit the dents? The mirrors I'm looking at are the FoMoCo mirrors. The mirrors only attach with one bar on top and one on the bottom. They look like there are no adjustment on the bars.
~Thanks, Ryan

The type of West Coast (aka Western Junior) mirror you're describing (two goose necked arms per side) was not offered for 1973/79 F100/350's. Only for Econolines & 1967/72 F100/350's.

The only West Coast mirror offered 1973/79 has a 3rd "Steady-Rest" Arm (frequently seen on 1973/79 Camper/Trailer Specials).

All these mirrors used the same head (C7TZ-17723-A) which has three vertical embossed lines on the backside.

1967/72 F100/350, 1969/74 & 1975/79 Econoline mirrors will not fit 1973/79 F100/350's properly, because the lower door contours (adjacent to the vent windows) are different.

Thanks NumberDummy, you just saved me some hard ache and some money! They did have the three ribs on the face of the mirror.

Hey Whistle. I've still got your WC mirrors in my storage room. I've been waiting for ya to get your paint done and I guess you're at that stage now. If ya want the Jr. WC's then I have an extra set of those too. Email me.
