Replaced broken side mirror.CAUTION Work truck pictures ahead;


I was trying to tighten the mount and the stud broke at about 60 Ft.Lbs and almost broke my nose- did break my shades.

This is the original mirror from the 60s I'm sure. The curved piece is SOLID steel with the ends turned down and threaded. Here is a picture of the original compared to the cheapo aftermarket replacement that did NOT hold the mirror in place at speed because the threaded insert was not staked in the tube.

So I went to the local pick-your-part expecting to walk for miles but right there at the entrance was a nice 1978 with it's mirrors intact. Different style but at least it stays put in the wind. Added a spot mirror to the bottom. -BA
