I built a set of mirrors for my panel truck fairly cheaply using parts from a easily found parts from local stores. Anyone who owns a panel truck will attest they have the worse case of blind spots of almost any truck, I describe it as driving with a five gallon bucket on your head with a viewing slot cut in the front. I wanted mirrors that were big. I also added a small convex mirror in the corner. All of the parts are stainless so I don't have to worry about rust and I think they look pretty era correct. They have rectangular heads but round one can be bought:

Here is the panel truck but it isn't at the best angle to show the mirrors:



Here's how I did it:

If you found a similar size rectangular mirror I think that would be better.
