Stepside Pic Request

I'm thinking about putting some west coast mirrors on my SWB stepside to make towing easier. Right now I can't see much with the stock car style mirrors. I'm not sure how they would look though on a short bed stepside and can't find any pics on google.
Does anyone have those mirrors on theirs?

Looks like that's a pretty rare bird.
Here's an older example:

Looks like that is indeed a rare bird...
I love the looks of the two posted, but both are the higher off road look. What do you guys think about them on a 2 wheel drive?

Here's my truck for reference in all it's rusted glory....

Rusted Glory? I don't see any rust! Your truck looks nice.

I think your truck would look good with West Coast Jrs on it. Do you have them? Are they or will you buy the stock Ford mirrors? Will they be the two armed Swing Lock or the three armed Steady Rest?

Maybe some one with skill can photo shop mirrors on your truck.

There's a fella here called mrcman58 who has a truckload of West Coast mirrors. He might sell you a pair.

Rusted Glory!?! You keep it hidden well my friend.



Not westcoast mirrors but they are larger than the car style mirrors. Might give you an idea.

Well, it's actually more rusted than the pictures show. The paint job was done when I was in high school so it's about 15 years old now. Daily driver for several of those years.

The west coast juniors are the ones I have in mind. I can't see anything pulling my camper with the current mirrors. I may try to PM the user to see if he has any. I don't have a set yet.

Gembone, I'd thought about those mirrors on yours too. They look pretty good. I have a set of those already.

if you get the WC Jrs be sure to post up some pics. I am curious about how they will look. I would prefer larger mirrors than I have. The spare tire where it is cause a bit of a blind spot.

Here are pics of the mirrors on my F350. The passenger side mirror is a Ford but the drivers side is a look alike replacement mirror, called Delbar from Perkasie, PA.
