I hear what you're sayin man. F**d or not I like those mirrors.
There was a set on my sons 77 1/2 ton when we bought it. They're simple and clean lookin. I would use them on my truck
IF they could be properly mounted. I have my dounts that they could be properly mounted though because of the curve of the door.
I like a relatively large mirror for backing and good visibility but I'm not fond of the large trailer mirrors that bolt to the top of the door above the window, or the 3 point mirriors that bolt to the door, so I'm limited on options. I guess I'm just too picky.
And here I have gone and hi-jacked this poor thread against it's will. I'm sorry.
