Who has used Ford mirrors????

[RingMaster4x4]

Have any of you used newer model ford /forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif mirrors on their 1ST Gen.? I so what year and what did you have to do to make them fit? /forums/images/graemlins/1zhelp.gif

 

[dysphemism]

I can check with my previous owner if you can't find anyone and see if he would know.

 

[RingMaster4x4]

That would be a great help! /forums/images/graemlins/1zhelp.gifI looked at the mirrors for a 97 but they did not look like the one on your blazer. Now the mirrors off a 95 they look like they would work but in the pictures that I saw there is a little arm or something that is sticking out of the mirror where it mounts to the body. ( If that makes sence ) I did not ask you again because I did not want to be a PITA. Thanks Todd

I have the mirrors from a '95 Bronco on my '72. All you have to do is cut that arm off, and install it with two bolts. I have the chrome accented ones and they look awesome.

 

[RingMaster4x4]

What is the arm for?

I would like to see a picture of the mirror you are talking about. I have Ford mirrors on my Blazer, but Im sure they are older than what you are talking about, here is a pic of mine...

hey brett, those are ford mirrors? do you have any idea what they came off of. those are the same mirrors i have on my 72k but the little ball that keeps them place is worn out. couldn't figure out what they came off of. i like the way they look i just need to find the mirror part, not the brackets.

I am really looking at puting some like dysphemism has on his K/5. /forums/images/graemlins/pimp1.gif

Yeppers! Those are the ones! And If your really slick, you can get the '96 Bronco mirrors with the turn signals and wire them up! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif [image]thumbs.webshots.com/sym/na1/0/58/33/68505833NPvMWy_th.jpg[/image]

those look nice, wish I would of seen them before I bought new stock ones...

 

['72brett]

hmm, the ones dysphemism has are neat lookin, but I dont quite see how they would fit on a first gen. We have too many curves on our blazers.

 

['72brett]

alright, I guess those kind in your link would fit, but that is a different style than what Dyshemism has.

 

[RingMaster4x4]

The ones in my link?? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Isn't that a picture of his K/5?

 

[dysphemism]

yeah thats my baby in the link. The previous previous owner also installed a gas door on the side, so he might have fabricated the mounts for the mirror. I called the previous owner today but he wasn't home, I'll try to get a hold of him for ya.

 

['72brett]

yea, I guess it was his, I just looked under the wrong photo album.

Dr.Chan- I bought mirrors like that from a junk yard, and mine too broke when I tried to adjust them, I just bought new ones from JC whitney. I like JC's mirrors better, but the original ford brackets are built better. You can find mirrors on almost any Ford. (Ford Ranger, F150, Ford Van)

 

[dysphemism]

Ok I asked the previous owner. He said they are a simple bolt on, and they went in smooth, with some bolts and fasteners.

Great thanks! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
