Redneck/Farm truck side mirrors

[COCHEV]

Anyone know where I can get some of them big ol ugly side mirrors? You know the ones that are tall, rectanglular and attach both at the top and bottom of the window...

I don't know about you guys, but towing a trailer through the city with a truck that has a canopy with no windows, leaves a lot to be desired with the stock side mirrors. Especially at night in the rain- which is almost every night in this stinkin city.

I can't always put my siginal on and count to three and hope for the best...but it is fun sometimes

I believe those are called West Coast mirrors -- You can find them at LMC truck IIRC

Narrow your search to Jr. West coast mirrors. Otherwise most of the stuff you'll find is for big rigs (6" x 12", heated, huge arms etc) The Jr's are 5" x 10" and are what could be had stock way back in the day.

summit sells univeral jr west coast mirrors too...but I like the look of the kind I linked above.

I have the smaller ones on my blue truck. Two different styles of this mirror, and some company is remaking them as well.

My 3/4 ton trailer special parts truck. Mostly saw 1 tons with this style though.

This second one is for towing, you flip it out when you are towing and then flip it in for more compact setup when driving the truck alone.

Yup, those are camper mirrors...not west coast mirrors. I have (and hate) them on my '83 pick-up.

Camper mirrors...

on a 2wd 1/2 ton i prefer the regular fold out mirrors, same with on a K5. I'd kinda dig the west coast mirrors on an older crew cab though.

something like that in flat black would be cool.

or... a guy buys the mirror and makes his own brackets....
