Mirror Trouble
Today I went about replacing the glass in my type 8 mirrors on my 78 supercab. I went to the parts store and picked up what is supposed to be direct replacement glass measuring 10 x 7 1/16 and 10 3/4 I believe and brought it back put the rubber gasket on it and went to put it in when I realized it was much to small.. any ideas on where I might have to get one from or what may be the problem???

LMC truck sells direct-fit mirror glass replacements that are actually "direct fit". Buying proper fitting glass from auto parts stores is hit-or-miss. Also try Mac's or Carolina Classics.

If you still have no luck try your local salvage yard. You may luck out and find original FoMoCo glass in good shape.
