Mirrors question

I have had one hell of a time finding black mirrors to fit my 1996 f350? All of the mounts are upside down. Does anybody know where I can find a quality set of black or stock mirrors? Thanks

If you are talking about the ones on your Centurion
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...es-advice.html

those are type 9 swing away mirrors.
They have been discontinued for several years and my last search proved out that there are none left at any dealer anywhere.

I am pretty sure that they only came in stainless / aluminum and not in black.

The top mounting flange is different on these - they changed it in the 90 or 91 (prior to the new front end styling of the 92 up) model year and continued that design through the end of the OBS.

I had thought that the Nites all had the paddle mirrors, but now I see that I am wrong.

Probably won't help you locate any, but looking at images of Nites, it does look like the 91 model has the later mirror you seek.

Nope.
Look at the upper bracket.

The 91 up mirror has the upper bracket with the screws underneath whereas the earlier ones had the screws at the top side.
They sit just a little bit higher in relation to the window.

LMC mirrors are know to be junky mirrors that vibrate and self adjust while driving down the road.
