What Mirrors do you use
I was wondering what mirrors every one uses on there 73-79 trucks. stock or after market and what they look like, if there from a different make or model.

My truck is in need of mirrors and have seen so many different types on these trucks. If any one could post some pics of what they have to help me make up my mind on what ones to get for my truck.

I've never been a fan of those mirrors but they are more practical.

I had the ones like the first truck posted but they were in not so good shape. just trying to see if any one has used anything else. My old man keeps trying to get my to use the ones that came on the first gen broncos.

I use early 90s Ranger mirrors. small and lightweight and don't get hung up on branches. Visit my garage for pics.

The grille detailing is what makes it stand out.

I've got a how to thread on that. Painting it all black wouldda lost its identity as a dentside. I'm glad you concur.

Chrome ranger mirrors? Dunno... I needed black to maintain stealth mode.

Those are what I have. I hate the looks but a better working mirror would be hard to find.
