I know these are from a few years back, but if anyone has a new set of D4TZ-17696-A/D6TZ-17696-A OEM side mirrors they want to part with, please PM me - ready to buy.

I really don't want to rebuild mine with Chinese mirror heads if I can avoid it...

 

Flashback Flashback F100's - Stock items Page 1 AND On page 2 also, This just a sample of parts we carry for Ford Trucks + Many more in stock. Bringing you 60 years of Ford Truck Parts from New to N.OS. to Top Quality Used or Reproduction Parts Please che

 

Biggest problem with the repros is the poor plating (ask me how I know....) - best when they are brand new to detach the mirrors and clear coat the non-aluminum bits.

 

Thanks for the heads up. When you say detach the mirrors, do you mean just unbolt the mirror heads, or take the mirror glass out entirely and clear coat them? I haven't gotten repos yet, but I'm very interested to know what should be addressed when I (likely) do.

Thanks!!!!

On mine the horizontal support for the mirrors and the door attachment plates are poorly plated. The mirror housings and the big U supports have had no issues..

 

I understand you aren't looking for the arm/bracket, just actuall mirror? I have one....

 

Found a set! Thanks everyone!

 

Be aware that the span between the D4TZ-17696-A upper/lower brackets is different than D6TZ-17696-A .. Plus, there are FOUR other types for 1977/79.

Ford sold the mirror head by itself, but there are THREE different types of these.

Notice in the pic that D6TZ-17696-A has a 6 11/16" span, while D4TZ-17696-A has a 7 19/32" span.

If the span is different, you'll have to drill new holes for the lower bracket.

 

where did u find them? i need a whole set also

 

Ebay, if you find a reasonable seller whom does not cherish them as gold. lol
