hanging off the side of your truck they don't work any better.

Bumping.... I located a West Coast set off a 70 CS.. stainless steel, all brackets, Ford script, smooth backs, AND the 3rd "steadyrest" arm.

Pics soon. PM me otherwise.

 

Hi guys, I'm looking for a set of the big, third-arm west coast mirror frames (frames only would be okay -- mirror heads are cheap and easy to come by.) I'd like to have them in stainless, for my little Effie. Thanks, --Silly

 

Grr... thought this was a PM, and it won't let me delete the message. Sorry for the spam.

 

I might be able to locate another set of three-legged mirrors. You'll have to wait until Sunday night after "the hunt". However, I do an extra set of Jr. West Coast mirrors of the two-legged variety.

Years ago, when I had to replace a smashed LH mirror, I ended up putting on an old Peterbilt part. My buddy had it laying around in his dad's estate, and suggested that I try it to see if it would fit. I had to move the bracketing around, and used the opportunity to replace some rusted hardware, but it fit well enough. Then I swapped it over to the RH side, for better visibility on the off-hand. I like it better than the stock Ford mirror head. Also, rather than adding a bracketed mirror for blind spots, I picked up a cheap self-adhesive 'cats eye' mirror & stuck it in the lower outside corner.

Disgusting thing about when the mirror broke. We'd had storms that were pretty bad, and I was grateful for the truck's ground clearance and for the armor quality of the old iron. But I couldn't slow down and swerve out of the way fast enough to avoid a small tree that had blown over. It occupied about hald of the fast lane and only needed one chance to smack my mirror.

I went to the local Police Department to warn them about the road hazard. It was on a main thuroughfare, and others were bound to strike the tree as well. The cop's reply was abominable: "Didn't you swerve to avoid it?!?"

Well excuse me for trying to be a good Samaritan. Next time I'll let YOU do the work. Sheesh, what a jerk.
