suitable side mirror replacements for f250
Have the Camper Special and it has the wide mirrors. I want to replace them with smaller mirrors, I'm not going to be tagging a camper with my truck anytime soon. Any comments or suggestions out there.

The C7AZ-17696-A non hooded Passenger Car type mirror was standard equipment (left side only) on all 1967/79 F100/350's except Camper Specials.
This mirror has been reproduced. Some repro parts sellers call it the "Sport Mirror" but Ford never did. Rear vision is severly limited with this mirror.
The problem with the low mount mirrors introduced in 1973 is: If installed on a 1967/72, the mirror head/brackets will not sit level, because the '67/72's door contour is different.
Small round chrome mirrors were used 1955/66. The doors on these trucks have a rectangular slot punched out in them for the mirror bracket to fit into. If not used, a rubber plug was placed in the slot.
Therefore...this mirror will not fit any 1967 or later truck.

Thanks Mike and ND. I will peruse yaybay to see if those show up. Not to savvy about having limited visability with the round mirrors since I may have my wife drive truck too. Both of you have a great day.

Pretty slick, what brand are they? Can you share any info like a part number that I can google, so I can try to find a pair myself?
