Any photo? I don't quite understand what mirror you need.

 

Do you mean like this (but without the rust and dents)?



If that's what you're looking for, the actual Ford one's are by far the best (much less vibration and they stay put). But they're stinking expensive (about $120 for driver's and $180 for passenger if I remember correctly). Driver's part number is FOTZ-17696-B and passenger is FOTZ-17696-A.

If that's not what you're looking for then never mind

 

talked to dealer not made and out of stock now was told

 

yes like those

 

Try the Bay - Ford 1995 Ford F-150 XL 5.8L in Mirrors | eBay

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=...96B&rmvSB=true

 

Try local junkyard or u pull lot. Lots of obs Ford's

 

go to dealer with part number.
I just got a set two years ago, another set last year, and a set 2 motnhs ago all for different trucks

 

I got a set about a year ago. And Matt's right, you NEED to give them the part number. There are a ton of different mirrors and my dealer had no luck whatsoever figuring out which ones I needed, kept getting completely wrong ones or telling me they weren't available, until I got the P/Ns here. Then they ordered 'em and I had 'em in a few days.

 

Then you dealer is an idiot. Find another and give them the part numbers or just google the part numbers yourself

 

Okay, I've ran into this problem as well. I've got a little different question though. I was looking to get black mirrors. The afmk units are all the wrong brackets (mounting holes above) at the top. I've seen some on ebay that are OEM black with the correct looking brackets, Can I assume these would fit? Are there just two styles/mounting configurations?

 

the part # for the ebay mirror is F1Tz-17682-D.<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td class="attrLabels">also here's link to the pic http://dennis-carpenter.com/rear-vie.../F1TZ-17682-D/</td><td width="50%">

There were several different brakckets but rule of thumb

80-86 one bracket

87-91 one bracket

92-97 one bracket
