I have the big towing mirrors and it's pretty easy to see with them. They enhance the "old farm truck" look so if you wanna get away from that style then the smaller ones you mentioned would probably be best but the drawback would be less visibility. Here's a picture of mine so you can see the style I have now
Im not 100% sure but I think mirrors were a option and installed at the dealership so your truck could have possibly never had any. Also I think there were a few different styles of mirrors you could choose from
The very first thread topic with "Read First" highlighted in red is on the subject of side mirrors. There are currently 87 answers to your question. Hope that will meet your needs.
ALL outside mirrors were optional and all were dealer installed. None were factory installed.
wow... Didnt know that. Thanks for pointing me to the post in red up top. And thanks for the pics posted. Sounds like it is up to pure preference. Anybody ever used LMC mirrors? (PN 49-6158)? Leaning towards that style.
The only repro mirror available that fits in the door slots is the chrome mirror with the 5" diameter mirror head, this mirror was optional for all 1955/66's, but are usually seen on F100's.
There's no parts catalog pic of it. Rearward vision is wanting with this mirror which is the same right & left and is available from all the repro parts sellers.
Be aware that unless waxed frequently, this mirror will begin to pit. It's repro'd in China, where the chrome is plated onto bare steel, there's no coat of copper in between.

Thanks... I do not necessarily want HUGE mirrors. Something sleek(er), but do not want to have a unsafe amount of visibility. These round ones kinda resemble the ones on my 67 New Yorker, which offer OK visibility for such a long car. Decisions, decisions.
1967 Chrysler New Yorker is a shade under 220" long. I had a 1960 Crown Imperial that was about the same size.
Both these elephantine behemoths parallel park easily within a city block...if there are no other cars parked there.
hahahhahaha.... Yea I RARELY drive it unless I know there will be a LOT of room to park....lol. Plus mine is in mint condition, would hate to bang it on a building trying to park....lol
