F superduty tow mirrors

I've been trying to find some tow mirrors to Replace the 4 bolt tripod ones on the 95 f superduty. Does anyone know if the bolt patterns on the 4 bolt tripod ones are all about the same or if there is any good choices out there?

Well lets see. There are 4 bolt and 5 bolt tri pods. And it being a SD has nothing to do with it. They cam on F250, F350, F350 dually and SD

Do you mean the thin metal "hoop style" ones or are you talking about the plastic super duty ones. Super duty never made a thin metal one that Im aware of. Super duty started in 98.5? if IIRC. No truck before then was a super duty, just an F-series. Honestly the easiest and best looking option, and should be cheapest. Is the dodge tow mirrors. Its a 3 bolt pattern and the base is smaller. You can also design your plate so that u can still use your vent window. The SD tow mirrors just look odd on the OBS fords and take up most of your vent window so u can open it.

The ones I got the 2 upper bolts use the stock mirror bolt holes and the 2 lower ones use holes drilled into the door. I'd be fine with just replacing those with the same thing just want the holes to line up

Are these what you're looking for? My truck had those tiny car mirrors on it, and I had to have something bigger to tow with. I had this type mirrors on my old 86 f250 and they did great, so I started looking for them. I ordered a set that I thought were OEM from Blue Oval parts and they were totally unusable. I finally found a set at a local salvage/parts yard.

1987 to 1997 ford F-SuperDuty was a 2 ton truck and used a large tow style mirror that was different from the little mirrors used on the F-150 and F250 light duty trucks.
in 1999 ford dropped the "F" from the Superduty name for the new redesigned truck.
