new bling bling for the 52

Just installed a set of "peep" mirrors tonight, and the name said it all "peep". Cant see to much out of them. Not sure if I like them yet or not. I know they don't go with the stock feel of my truck but they were cheap off ebay so what the hell. Maybe they will grow on me in the day light, OO And never mind the bow tie in the back ground of that one photo.... . also I'm included a few photos of the first car show event my daughter and I got to attend in the truck. Needless to say It was a very special day for me and her anyways.

The peep mirrors may be worthless to see out of, but they look good with the fuzzy dice!

And there's nothing like a little father-daughter time in the old truck at a car show.
Well done!

Sure, but the good part is it's easy to go back and edit our mistakes.

Mirrors are a personel thing so if they grow on you cool, if not they are easily changed. But one thing is for sure and is without a doubt, and that is, besides your truck, you have one beautiful little girl, that you can be very proud of.

I have a peep mirror on my 49. Its better than nothing but its nothing to write home about. At least with the 52 you have a large back window to see out of. My 49 has the small window.

Glad you had fun at the show. The pics of your daughter crashed out are priceless. Too cute! thanks for sharing those

I used some straight arm peeps on mine, worked much better than the curved arm I had on at first.

I can't even see the right side mirror. I bet if I had the straight arm ones it would stick out enough to use.
