Jolly,
Where did you get those mirror heads?
How are they attached to what looks like the original style arms that have the mirror pressed on?
I've got the repo original style round ones but wouldn't mind being able to switch out the heads for some thing bigger when we tow the 1962 Shasta trailer behind the '65 F100.
Are you in VA of Cali? Saw the Cali plates on the truck in your photos.

I got the mirrors from Summit Racing for $7.97 each. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ksc-rh057
Luckily, they fit into the stock mirror arms and tighten securely with the allen screws. I discovered this by accident, and I'm really glad they fit.

Can you post the instructions for mounting the West Coast Jr mirrors. I'd like to replace my Camper Special mirrors with Jr mirrors and would like to use the factory mounting locations if possible. I have a few different sets available but no original door to see the mounting.
Thanks,
Bill

Thanks. I guess what I should have asked for was West Coast Jr Swing Lock mirrors. I didn't realize the mirrors that came with the Camper Special were also called West Coast Jr. Looking at those instructions though I think mine are mounted a little bit back from what the instruction sheet shows. I'll need to check tomorrow. In any case though I'm taking those off and putting on the swing lock style.

West Coast is an aftermarket (auto parts store) term. Ford called them Western Mirrors from day one. There were several different types, see Chads pic in post #109 for one example.

How/where can you find the bars for the West(ern) mirrors?? I don't care if they are Rotunda or aftermarket.
What about dimensions?? I picked up this 65 that has these big beast on it, and I am looking to go a little smaller. I think the Jr will fit the bill. But i cant find any place that mentions the distance from mounting point to mounting point. I don't really want to drill more holes in the doors if I don't have to.

Christmas, can you post a link to these mirrors? I can't find them on O'rielly's website. Thanks!!! Pat
