I really want these mirrors or the bigger 3 point mirrors that had one mount in the door frame above the window.

Anyone know of reproductions?

 

I don't know of anyplace that still sells them, but they are factory mirrors for the early models. Dad's truck has them, and the window sticker even mentions them. I believe they were listed as "swing away" mirrors, could have been "swing lock" or something like that.

If you can't find a decent set in a salvage, you might try looking thru places like blue oval truck parts, NPD, bronco graveyard, and LMC.

The lower mounted mirrors are nice for towing, plus they don't cause the blindspots like the "west coast" style. You can hide a rather large item behind those "trucker" mirrors.....

 

D3TZ-17696-C Type 7 swing-lock low profile mirror R or L
Green Sales, Cincinnati, OH has 2 (800) 543-4959
Wesley Obsolete Parts, Liberty, KS has 1 (606) 787-5293
Perogie Enterprises, Highstown, NJ has 1 (609) 448-5593
CollectorsAutoSupply.com shows 22 but if they have 1 or more they'll show "22" Oroville, WA (800) 414-4462

Just a note, I bought two of these mirrors from Green Sales a couple of years ago, they cost somewhere around $60.00 each.

 

not to high jack the thread here ,but whats going on with the trim on the truck in the photo he provided.
i really like it .
is this some form of a stock option, aftermarket or custom.
i am leaning torward a custom part because i have never seen trim like that?
any ideas?

my truck came with all the trim striped off of it which is a real shame , but i would love to replicate what the photo shows

 

didn't know those mirrors sell for that much. i have a set that i will be getting rid of.

 

Have a set on mine. The passenger one is a little harder to see out of because part of it is below door line. But good mirrors.

 

That is the earlier trim, I think from '73-'74 or '75. And I believe those are called "western swing lock", my '76's build sheet has them as "chrome swing lock". I like them.

 

I think that's the mid-level trim from 73 to around 75/76. The window sticker for dad's truck lists the upper trim with rubber insert, as if it is an "upgrade" from the standard ranger/ranger xlt trim.

 

That trim is for the Ranger trim package.

 

I have the same trim on my 78 f150..available if you are interested..pm me if you are

 

I dont know too much about the different trim levels but my '76 Ranger xlt has the trim w/blk vinyl insert. I may have missed them but I dont recall any '73s or '74s with the deluxe trim either.

 

Saw a used set last week on E-bay for 50 bucks. I believe the guy was in Minnesota. Good luck

 

Here is the item# for mirrors on e-bay. #260775373227. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks everyone. I looked at the ones on ebay but since im going to doa a full on restoration of this truck, im ordering new ones. But thanks for all the input!
