Original '64 without driver side mirror option
I just brought home a '64 Ford F100 home without driver side mirror option installed.
Question, is the truck more valuable without as originally ordered?
thanks

even trucks without mirrors should still have the hole in the door (for the mirror arm) and a rubber plug in the hole. So if you wanted to add the factory round style mirrors, you could just pop the plug out and bolt them on...wouldn't hurt the value because they could always be removed and the plug put back in. Now if asking about adding larger western style mirrors that need holes for screws, then ultimately I think that's subjective and everyone will have their own opinion. My opinion is that unless it's an extremely well documented low mileage all original truck, then, no, you won't hurt the value by adding mirrors that install by drilling holes.

Besides the chrome mirrors that fit into the door slots, there were two other types with recatngular mirror heads: Telescoping and non telescoping.

ALL outside mirrors were optional excepting 1965/66 F100/250 Camper Specials, the Western Jr. mirrors were part of the package.
Standard Cabs came with one sunvisor as standard equipment, Custom Cabs and Rangers came with two.

On this '64, there is a plug hole for for the radio antennae, not for the mirror, I haven't seen any stamp marks from the factory.
I am looking for a happier neck though...probably hang one out there in the future.
Thanks for the input.

Ford never used a plug for a radio antenna. The radio was an option, so there would be no hole in the right cowl panel without one.
All 1961/66 trucks have slots in the doors for the optional outside mirrors. If no mirrors were installed, rectangular rubber plugs filled the holes.
