Green is the color of money, and this gorgeous F-250 is certainly money in our book.

Trim (beauty) rings are present, but hubcaps or wheel covers are not.

Outside mirrors are auto parts store aftermarkets. Ford offered a similar mirror...in 1973.

I agree, personal preference items that did not exist in '72. IMO, both are eye sores, I understand three leg Camper Special mirrors are unforgiving in tight spots, but the closer to cab period stainless junior west coasts would be a big improvement. Sometimes drivers just need to be patient and check their blind spots more carefully when driving an older truck..

I like it, but I might be biased. Mine is the same color combo, and I intend on keeping it that way. I like the mirrors, but have never been a fan of west coast/Jr. Mirrors. Just not my thing. I was actually planning on swapping those type mirrors on. Glad to see a preview of my truck.

Mirrors on 1972 when introduced in 1973 were called Low Mount Swing Lock Mirrors. These aren't Swing-Locks because they're aftermarket.
