92 bronco mirrors on a 79 f150 custom.

Hey guys I was wondering if those mirrors off of a 92 bronco would fit on a 79 f150. Have any of you guys seen it done before?. I personally don't like the mirrors my self but it's what the owner wants lol.

Do you have pics? Can't say I would expect most people to know what mirrors are on a '92 Bronco off the top of their heads... I sure don't.

A Bing image search pulls up this one, which looks similar to the "Type 9" mirrors that are popular on these trucks:



And this one, which looks like it may mount similarly to a Type 5



etc...

Pretty much anything could be mounted - it's a matter of drilling the right holes and bolting it on. Whether it would look good is another question.

From LMC. 92-96 f150-f250 92-96 Bronco.

I just don't remember these. I skipped the mid 90's as far as Ford trucks go. Went from a 90 to a 97. Since they seem to mount to the top of the door in a single location, think it should be fine.

The single post may work well. Avoid the ones that look similar to the factory 70's mirrors (2 post chrome). They have a different angle on the top bar. Previous owner put some on my truck and they stick way up (see photo)

The ones I'm talking about are the ones 4x4slick put up. My question is what to do with that bracket? Do I need to cut a hole in the door for that bracket?. I haven't got to the shop yet to have a look for my self but just by looking at the mirrors I'm nor really sure what to do lol

This mirror is relatively heavy and requires the interior arm to be mounted/braced/supported... and no, securing it to the interior door metal is not a bolt-on affair.


It'll bounce and vibrate like crazy if ya don't.

I did this to my doors & love it way more than the massive mirrors that I had before. Its super easy once you know where to put the hole in the door. DO NOT cut off that brace, these things shake a little in the wind even with them. I don't know how to link my pics, but check them out in my gallery. You'll need new jack nuts ( those expanding screw/nut/washer things) & 2 bolts for each mirror. Mounting point on inside of door is a bit of a guesstimation where the brace lines up, but mine went right to the inner doorskin with no spacers. Check those other linked threads - thats where I learned. Find out where to put the hole for the brace & the rest is almost factory. Good luck!
