Mirror change

Why wouldn't these mirrors fit my 95 F150 standard cab? I currently have the small power mirrors but one is broke. I know I would have to drill a couple of new holes for the lower part of mount and may have to modify for top mount.

Those are the mirrors I have on my '95 Standard cab truck. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't work.

Inside are some special funny "fasteners" but if you're getting them at a junkyard just make sure to get those pieces. If you wanted to switch TO power mirrors from those pictured is where you run into then having extra holes. So, I don't see why you couldn't do what you want.

I'd think they'd fit too. Let me know if you decide to go with them because I was thinking about doing the same thing. My truck as the newer style mirrors but they aren't in good shape and I prefer this style as well. The only thing holding me back is whether the top mount holes would align with the holes that are already there.

IIRC I think the holes for the plastic mirrors are a little closer to the front and further apart.

So the mount for the swing-away mirrors might not cover the holes

If anyone has time to measure the distance between the bolts on the top mount, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks Fastback.

Looks to be about 4" bolt center to bolt center...I have a very terrible quality picture I took on my smoke break also.

Thanks man. I appreciate your help. The distance between the bolts on my mirror are 5 9/16". I would have to use a wide cover plate or just put a stainless bolt in to plug the hole.

I have been contemplating switching to those mirrors also. It's too bad they're not a direct match at the top mount.

The upper mount looks like it might be lower on the stainless mirror.
