ray, if your brackets are good, just put a set of mirror heads from the 87-97 trucks on them. they bolt rite on, and give you the advantage of having the passenger side "wide-view" mirror also.

i did this with my 79 and was very pleased with the results.

 

can you post a picture of what they look like? look at the picture i posted are them the right brackets?


Ray

 

sure can.

as soon as it stops rainin.

i don't like to get my camera wet.

 

TJC, I dont see how the later mirrors will work on his arms, they look tubular, the 80+ are flat.


80+ mirrors. They wont work if you have any upper trim. The metal mirrors from 80-97 will work on 79 and older arms, and vice versa.





Factory 77-79

 

ok, it stopped raining enough to get some shots for you ray.
these mirrors are a 89 F250

I like the 92-96 mirrors on these trucks. I 1st saw them on a truck on eBay and have been talking to RNOVRIT about running them because he has in the past. I'll put a pic in my gallery of a 78/79 crew with these mirrors

*edit* added pics - they are in my crew cab gallery

man I gotta learn how to link my pics like the...

Yeah I saw that truck on eBay and went "I need those mirrors". I am now searching for a set. It looks like they came on 92-86 Broncos and F-150's, as well as some of the F-250's and F-350's, but they sure do look good on our 70's rigs!

 

to link go to imageshack.us and upload them and it give you a link you put in your message on the forum, works great and easy!
