That's funny, I just let my buddy have them for his dually for free because I didn't want them about two weeks ago. I didn't know they were rare...

Bummer, ya i prefer the small sport mirror myself on a fleetside box, but with the dually fenders those '91 style mirror look ok and can see out past the fender.they are a hell of alot better looking than the 3-point "ladder" mirrors IMO.

Do they bolt up to the existing holes in the older style doors or do they have separate holes? The look to be placed back a bit further.

Seperate holes, make sure though if you do get a set, to try and get the factory bracket that is within the door , the door panel needs to be pulled to get the for inner-support ,,,, if not they can be mounted with new hardware.

Very nice E Arc. That is what I am working on. Where are your fuel tanks?

About a year and a half ago I bought the last LH NOS power mirror and nationwide there were 3 RH power mirrors available....I also bought a NOS harness for them as well. I figured by now they'd all be discontinued. I have quite a few sets of them now because I never know when I'll need a set. I also keep the van style power mirrors on hand too.

Hey farmall, The fuel tanks are stock location and the boxes are only 12" deep. The tires are 255/85 and required 1/2" spacers inside the first wheel and 1" spacers between dualls. Thanks and have a good one.

Here's some pictures of some square bodies and some 1-tons...

Chevy C65: "http://deorse.deviantart.com/art/Boot-Camp-Drawings-Sketches-3-1977-Chevrolet-C65-496369809"

Chevy K30 (custom): "http://deorse.deviantart.com/art/Boot-Camp-Drawings-Sketches-6-1976-Chevrolet-K30-496377883"

I drew these while I was at boot camp. I'm still hoping to get my hands on a 1973-1979 C or K series 1-ton dually Chevrolet or GMC. I'm still a little too poor to afford one yet. :'(

Hey partner, The wheels on this truck are Alcoa 16 x 6. The tires are 255/85. (33 x 10). 1/2 inch spacers on the inside needed for the tire to clear the springpack on a narrow cab / chassis rear and 1.5 inch spacers between the dualls. With this setup there was no need to cut the factory wheel studs. I picked up the hub centric - aluminum spacers on ebay. Fit perfect and seem pretty stout. The truck has no lift and the 33" inch tires fit well. Thanks and good luck.

Hi SKT. Thanks for the compliment. I plan on working this truck, Just not to hard. Building a set of removable gin poles and installing a winch on the bed. Have a good one.

Looks great how strong do u think the inside spacer is that's the one that worries me the most..just wonder about towing .if they would hold up good..

Hi, The inside spacer is just a piece of material 1/2" thick. Has no structural impact on anything. Only moves the inner wheel 1/2" away from hub. Also pictured is the 1.5" spacer. Thanks
