Side Mirrors

I need side mirrors. I've used both correct, and the curved hinge pin units on a previous truck and was looking for another option.

I saw a toothy F1 where the owner mounted late model mirrors with today's rounded-off bezels to his door. I thought the shape blended nicely with the round edges of F1 sheet metal.

I would be interested to see if anyone went this route. Perhaps a pic with Year/Model. I don't need the inside adjustment but I suppose I could disable it.

Thanks,

Dawg-A-Saurus

Don't feel restricted by just the typical OEM mirror style. But if you want the round look for the sleekness I can completely understand.

Google "re-trac" mirrors. I have them on my '56 but it's an F-500 and I wanted the West Coast mirror look. But I also saw them on an earlier F1. They looked really sharp.
