1975 Highboy - Correct Mirrors

How do you know what mirrors ore the correct mirrors for the 1975 Highboy? The mounting screw locations on mine are certainly

different than the mirror screw locations for the 1975 F100 we have (yellow).

I've never seen a lower mirror mount in the dent area...that would definitely interfere with the aluminum trim options.

White one's holes look more right.

Thanks guys.

That got me looking again. I bet the ones on the yellow truck are from the 80's model. Those look to mount lower based on photos.

The white truck bolt holes look like it needs 73-79 type 9's. IMO the ones on the yellow truck are not for a 73-79. They look to be off a 80's or newer.

6x9 bigger head.

Not flat back like the 6x9, so these are the 5 1/4 x 8 1/4. Not matter what, the top bar should be parallel to the ground and the bottom mount above the "dent" line.

The mirror on the tan - yellow door is off of a later truck, like 87 & up.
