I was kinda lookin for something smaller than that. I had some off of a car that looked great, but the mounting arm was too short, so all I could see was the top of the bed.

I always liked the 70's-80's (don't know exact years but they were used for a long time) that had two mounting points on the door and had the horizontally rectangular mirror. Should be able to find a good set cheap at a salvage yard.

Thanks, GolferSA, but I have a set of those, but I want something with a longer arm, but I might end up getting the style barry posted earlier.

DONO in '04!! Great subject. I have some pretty decent looking mirrors on my '67 F-100 (photo inset) but they do not give me the visibility I really prefer and vision is limited. I am seriously considering going with the shorter 2 point mount kind Barry mentioned earlier. Even though my mirror "surface" is quite large its position on the door does not fit well with the drivers position in the seat. I am beginning to believe Ford engineers knew what they were doing when they designed the 3 point and 2 point mounted truck mirrors for the F-100's.

I would suggest you try actually sitting in some comparable truck seats with various styles of mirrors to get a feel for what will work for you and your truck before you start drilling and mounting more mirrors.
Good luck.

I have the two point mini wetern style ones. I love how they look. Viewing area requires a couple of those small stick on mirrors. But the worst part is that it's hard to see around them. I have to look twice as hard as before at an intersection in case a car is behind those mirrors. Not sure I'd go that route again.

What did those come off of, tripticker? I like those!
I think I picked them up at one of the box stores i.e K-Mart, Target, Walmart, not really sure as it has been several years back or it could have even been Pep Boys. I just remember looking around for several weeks before I stumbled on those. They are "okay" but you really have to "hunt" when you are using them for side vision. If they were the type that have a rounded surface and "make objects appear larger than they really are" I think they might be a lot better application.
Good luck again.
