Heck, I don't know, I'm just a young whipper snapper at 56. LOL :)

You know how farmers and ranchers are. ;)
They've got all kinds of old stuff like that. :)

"I own the front half of a '74 C700 :)"
There's just something I find funny and cool about that.
Somehow it's cooler to me than owning the whole thing. ;)

I used stainless Nylock nuts instead of the acorn nuts.
Cheap and easy to get at the hardware store. :)
I ground off the numers and markings off the botls and "polished"
them using a 6 inch deburring wheel...

Mine's smaller but spins way faster (~1200rpm) than the one shown. ;)

Ah, yes... Acorn Nuts and Bolts.

I remember wanting to replace them on my 1972. Acorn nuts were easy to get, the acorn bolts.... most people didn't believe they even existed until I showed them.

It almost looks like Type 7's and Type 9's match up to the same holes - am I correct on this or am I way off? I'm tempted to put Type 7's on my truck because I'd like to have a larger mirror head but I don't want to have to drill more holes to do it...

While Type 12 were installed on some F100/350's, most of the trucks that used these mirrors were F500/880's.

These mirrors are overkill for F100/350's.

In 1975, Ford introduced a new mirror: D5TZ17696A which is Type 8.

I believe these were part of the package on F350 Stupor Camper & Trailer Specials.

Whether they are...or not...I remember seeing dozens of these F350's with these mirrors when the trucks were new.

Is Type 2 the same as Type 12, which is what you said you wanted?

No. Look how the huge brackets mount on the door.

Type 3 it is.

Looks like you could use a few new mouldings.
