based on your picture you appear to have the same mirrors as the recreational as said above.... .BUT YOU HAVE NOT SHOWED US WHAT YOU HAVE OR WHAT YOUR ISSUE IS


Do you want to replace the mirror head becuase its broken? They make new ones, although cheaper in quality,m the auto store usually has them on the shelf.

I have already said this, yes one of the heads is broke, just the glass. I also said in another post I just wanted suggestions from you guys to see your favorite mirror options. Didn’t necessarily need help if I did I would have made it clear. Thank you for the help guys

Well I think you may be able to get a larger head

here is a sideways mounted mirror that should bolt on to yours

Heres a chrome version

Heres a vertical replacement kind(painted white)

Just some ideas

He is talking about these tow mirrors where the vent window goes. OBS solutions weld in mirror mount brackets.


OK, thanks, I thought we were talking about OEM type mirrors like what would have been available from Ford at the time. I am not up at all on all the aftermarket choices.

Brett, I like those mirrors on your truck. I bought a 1996 F-250 flatbed a few weeks ago and they had some extender mirrors taped and bungy corded to the factory mirrors, but I am looking to install something that will work properly and look right. When I contact Ford, what do you call these type of mirrors? Thanks, Bert

These are called, “bright swing-out recreation mirrors” and they were a factory option for some vehicles.
