Door question

Looking at a set of doors for a 1978. Will they fit my 1979? Also is the mirror bolt pattern for a stock towing mirror or someone else's home job? Thanks!

As far as I know all 73-79 doors are interchangeable. You will probably have to make adjustments to the hinges once installed for the new doors. The door trim inside and outside could be different from your current door. It's not too difficult to remove the door locks and swap them over to keep your same key as the iginition. Would also be a good time to replace all the window seals.

As far as the mirror it looks like maybe Type 8. See this link for mirror types:

Doors are the same; 1973/79 F100/350 & 1978/79 Bronco.

See lower pic for what appears to be the same mirror/brackets your truck had.
