SnuffthePunkz: Those are NAPA WC mirrors. Part #97693 for chrome. Jr West Coast is #97644. I didn't write get the black part # cause I didn't want black. It's also a little more expensive.

I need some WC mirrors for my camper/trailer combo and I just happened to be at a NAPA a few weeks ago and took the numbers down. Those babies are over $120 EACH so I will think long and hard before buying them...

-Joshua

P.S. Thanks for the picture, I've wanted to see them mounted for a long time!

I got my west coast mirrors on amazon... Black, and about $45/each with mounting arms and hardware.

I didnt like how far away from the truck the arms that came with it set it and i havent gotten around to making new ones yet, so they're still in the basement...

I know nothing about OBN... Just thought they should know about your mirror mod to show up the jury rigging going on in that thread.

I gonna post some west coast JR's on mine.

With everything else that needs done on the truck I can't justify the time it will take to make custom mirror mounts, and I think with the style of the truck they will look pretty good.......Maybe one day when I can do my crew cab fummins build I will go all out.


And yeah, there are a few people over at OBN that like to flame on people no matter what it is, I guess some people just like to take things too seriously.
