Here's the set of stainless pivots that I bought when I saw them on eBay. The seller sent along a sticker and business card with his info. I'm offering the info here since he didn't tell me not to and it seems like public information. Top notch work on these replacements.

Appears to be the same guy selling the stainless kit I posted above.

Any idea what they were listed under?

Sorry, I can’t recall. Maybe try “ Jr. West Coast Mirror Hardware” or similar, or “Vintage Ford Truck Mirrors”, etc.

See Chad’s post #16 above, maybe try them.

Be advised, though, that the vast majority of Jr. West Coast mirrors I see mounted on trucks are NOT the genuine Ford ones. Everyone seems to have made a version - Yankee, Western Auto, Grote, KD . . . . and a bazillion others, mostly generic. They all mount differently, using a different number of support arms. Some ,like mine , had the tubes passing through the mirror head. Some attached only to the top and bottom exterior, others had a single pivoting ball-type attachment.

I was able to buy an NORS set of Yankee, 5 x10 through- type, stainless heads for cheap on eBay. But that is an anomaly , sellers frequently ask 150.00 and up per mirror head. Mine are in great shape, just thinking of my grandson when he gets the truck. I will now probably search for five more years to find decent replacement attachment pieces.I could be dead before I find the right ones.

Before buying any kit, find out which specific mirror it is for, and what you have got.
