Increasing the mirror head size only would exacerbate that problem. I will "for now" have to put on larger rectangle shaped mirrors just to get going here.

They did leave my Bible in one of the drawers that still remained.
Too bad they didn't see the Bible first, open it to Genesis and see the commandment, Thou shall not steal!

About the mirrors, you might want to get some Jr. West Coast mirrors for your truck. That is what I have on my 70 F350. You can do d them on ebay. For now how about a big convex mirror. For some reason they aren't affected by vibration as much.

Denny,
Save the picture attached to the email someplace. Then post the picture as normal.

Well, it's not a Ford, but here is an oddball American made train..





In 1966 the New York Central Railroad tested this Budd Rail Diesel car equipped with a pair of GE J47-19 Jet engines. They did several test runs between Butler, IN and Stryker, OH. where they set the current US light rail speed record of 183.6 MPH.

Now this is a TRUCK! Featured in an old movie called the Sorcerer. It's a military GMC with 48-52 Ford influence. Stu
