Montanaboy,
Welcome to the forum. Though I live in Utah for a good part of the year, I also spend time in the Blackfoot Valley - not too far from Missoula.
I'm a little confused as to what mirror parts you need. I may have them so if you try and describe what you're looking for more thoroughly I'll check.
For non-Montana residents:
The state is a dump. There's nothing to do, the scenery's terrible, the people are rude, the hunting and fishing are abysmal. In short - it's a horrible place to live, or even visit.

I was being stupid, because everyone who comes here wants to move here. I learned to live with it years ago, it just sucks when people come here and buy up land and then bring their agendas with them and think they can change things "for the better". Give them a call and see how they're doing! I bet they love it up here! I know I do.

Nah, this old timer's yard is small and not too much going on from what I could see. And he also told me that the state wrote in some clause about having non-working vehicles laying around being illegal and they're shutting everyone down. Junkyards and such. I would even go as far as to venture that they don't want old vehicles on the road, forcing the pop to eventually all have new controlled trackable, conspiracy type vehicles. Just kidding. But sucks they're shutting these yards down. But he is a small business, and I see small businesses die around here every other week. I could rant but it's a waste of time. But the guy has a lot of Ford parts so I am going to support his shop to the end, and he said he'll hang on until they force it. I'm going back down there after I make a list of the random parts I may need for my rig.

I may need to swing up that way and see what the old boy has to offer unless I can email you my list
It's a shame the state is cracking down on him, good parts are getting harder and harder to find.

He had a bunch of old iron on his property, visible from the Hwy, among his collection were 25-30 bumpsides and dentsides that he'd part out from time to time.
I have no idea if he's still there or not but it's a good excuse for a Sunday drive.
