Hi everyone,
my son was sanding the doors on his 1977 f150 and he asked me if we could put super duty mirrors on his truck. i honestly dont know how i would go about doing this. so for one, is this even possible due to how those mirrors mount? if it is possible, could you guys give me some tips on how to start this? any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

 

Get him some 1960 Super Duty mirrors. It will be much easier to mount, look a whole lot better, and he will be getting Super Duty mirrors (maybe not the SD mirrors he was thinking of though).

 

Yeah it can be done quite easily, you have to make a plate and weld the vent shut then bolt it to that part of the door.. I think it looks good but don't think its worth loosing the gull wing(that's what dad always called em)

Ill see if I can find a picture

 

A few years ago there as a post and pic in here with SD mirrors.... they looked mega stoopid IMO. The proportions and "looK' were all wrong and confused.

But hey, to each their own.

 

I hate linking outside of our site but look at this write up.. It actually keeps the use of the vent t

I agree they were massive.. I cannot find that thread, can you reference it HIO?

 

Sorry I can't. It was such a bad idea that my brain wouldn't accept it.

 

sometimes daddy should just say no to junior without a discussion.

 

LOL man that cracked me up! Thanks for the coffee Burns

 

Found it!! To the ones who tried to forget, your welcome

I side with Hio

 

Just looked at the pictures in the link. I threw up a little.
Wow that's ugly. Hope the OP has a look and convinces his son it is a BAD idea!

 

<< Image deleted Cuz it was frickin' disgusting >>

 

thanks guys for the pics. I agree with you all they look horrible, but its his truck he paid for it so im going to let him do what he wants but im also going to strongly suggest he doesn't. Thanks for the help!

 

I wouldn't listen to all the old people() here, there are hundreds of guys out there that would love it.. I say if you like it, rock it!

I like seeing the new integrated into the old, anyone can buy it new..
