Tow mirrors

Hi there so had the mirror glass on my passenger side mirror crack and break and need a part number for replacement glass. The mirror measures 10.5 h by 7.625 w but I can't find any that size. Looking online hasn't helped either and parts stores keep trying to say they are aftermarket even though it has ford stamped across it. Any help would be appreciated.

OK the mirror head may be Ford but on your truck that mirror head is incorrect. Somebody took the heads from another, earlier truck and put them on yours. Perhaps you could take the head to a glass shop?

This is from the 1979 Ford trucks brochure - look familiar?

The OP's mirror head is from the optional 'Recreational mirrors' as shown on OBS460's truck (and mine as well)

Shop around for a replacement mirror for the '95 Recreational mirrors. They're out there... https://www.vehiclesafetysupply.com/...p;gad_source=1

Have the glass shop make you a mirror to fit and glue it in
