unfortunately, what looks cool is not necessarily cool in practice. i just think the 3 point mirrors are the most useful on this era truck because they have a big (and tall) head but the frame is not as bulbous as a towing mirror. i happened to have a pair of towing mirrors, otherwise i'd spend the money and get the tripod mirrors. those tiny mirrors are like c-notches, air bags and 20 inches rims....they just seem out of place on a vintage 3/4 ton TRUCK! the little mirrors are better suited to a classic camaro.....they leave much to be desired BEFORE there is an 8 foot wide camper hitched up.
