original side mirrors for '73
I want to put back the original factory style side mirrors and am wondering what the Ford part number for 1973 is. I want the small, single arm rectangular mirrors, not the west coast style. I can see the outline of where they were mounted on my doors originally. thanks!

I dont know about the ford part number, but I bought the reproduction ford mirrors from LMC. The part number for them is 49-6512 and they are $40 bucks each. Im very pleased with them. If you want the original ford part number, there's a member on here that goes by numberdummy he can get what ever number you need.

I've got a really nice set of West Coasts with the Ford script... stainless steel too. Do an FTE search for "West Coast" and look for my thread with a pic. PM me if you're interested.
To the OP, Ford had like 12 different mirror models. Numberdummy posted a pic on a thread about a year from the parts catalog. Again, do an FTE search within the 73-79 dentsides.

Also, ALL mirrors were dealer installed. They were shipped loose in the truck and installed once the truck was sold, that way if the buyer wanted different mirrors they could be installed without having to fill and repaint the original holes.

To the OP, let me know what type mirror you're looking for and I'll post the Ford part number.

These look like Type 3 mirrors. Ford calls them west coast jr. mirrors. On those the head measures 5" X 9". The original part number for the kit is: Right hand D3TZ-17696-B, Left hand D3TZ-17696-A. The mirror head is C7TZ-17723-A right or left.

yes! absolutely. At the very least, I need to find out what the original part number for those is. Curious if the same mirror fits both sides or if they came in rights and lefts. Thanks!

Searched the dealer and obsolete parts suppliers:

Dennis Carpenter, Concord, NC has 5 (704) 786-8139
Collectors Auto Supply, Oroville, WA has 22 (800) 414-4462
I couldn't locate any of the remote control versions
