Mirrors
Hi, guys I noticed that the mirrors are not circular but rather oval in which position they should be since it's not circular and I tried to adjust them but still can't see any thing in the back.

Put in a pic of your 56's mirrors. They may be or not be original. Abe knows mirrors inside and out. He may answer more. I just cobbled up some mirrors from Abe's parts and junkyard parts and I can see great out the rear now. Maybe you have the little mirrors like I had that are nice looking but worthless to see out of.

Thanks, the mirror heads are a little big bigger than original stock, but perfect for safety.

Those look like peep mirrors, no good for me, but they may be original for your truck. If you have the manual for your truck, it will specify the original mirror, but looks like they have the same mount for the bigger trucks. I will check when I go out to my barn and see what I can dig up.
Safety first for me, originality second.
