1978 side view mirror

HELP! I can not find the correct mirrors for my 78 f250. Everyone I try is different from the o.e. I have looked at all my local parts stores and even had a shop order some in, they were also wrong. any ideas? Thanks

xj,
Take a look in the online store first.
After you do that;
Check Autokrafters, Obsolete Ford, and LKM maybe another?
Good luck,

Try the junk yard and get a set off an 80's truck they are a little smaller and have round corners. I think they look better also that what im running on my 78 also buy 2 left side mirrors because they dont have the objects are closer than they appear sticker on them. Just my $0.02

Junkyard will get me just that (junk) I live in PA there is not alot that is not rusted around here. As far as the 80s mirrors that I have tried, they all sit at a angle. And I could not find anything on the online store.

I had the same problem. I wanted the correct ones, not the ones that sat at an angle! I ended up going to my local Ford dealership and ordering the factory ones.
