Hood Spot mirrors????

I was wondering if anyone has the chrome spot mirrors mounted to the front fender/ hood, any pictures? I really need Morrors as I'm daily driving my 78 f250 Supercab on 42s it's a pretty large vehicle as you can all imagine. Let me know if you have seen it before??

You mean a like school bus mirrors? Ah the joys of owning and driving a big ol 4x4 huh? An interim fix is round spot mirrors on the reg mirrors to help see down the passenger side a little better. As far as that front r/h fender...bus mirror is all I can think.

Maybe ck out a big rig parts place to get something that can go on the outer edge of the factory bracket?? That is like a spot mirror?

I thought the same thing but did not have the heart to say it....

Honestly, I have not see it and would laugh like a fool if I did see a truck with them.

I at least try to help folks with there issue and sometime just leave my opinion for later, like now.

Everyone has there own opinions, but I've seen them on 90s fords I didn't think they looked bad, I'm honestly surprised nobody has seen it on one of these, but I'm going for a big rig look anyways getting 10 lug 20s for my 47s next I have huge west coast mirrors on it now, with a 7.3 diesel and a big exhaust stack

You might try looking for the hood spot mirrors for a Sterling "L" line truck/tractor they have a small mounting bracket. Not one of those massive brackets like a school bus mirror. I will grab a picture of one on the truck I drive at work
