I hope you're keeping those cool West Coast Jr mirrors. They have the absolute best rearward visibility of any RVMs. Almost impossible for a cop to sneak up on you. Ignore the rush of air as you exceed 40 MPH -- it's a manly sound. Tiny little girl-car mirrors may present less of an aerodynamic drag profile, but you're driving a brick with a motor anyway, so why worry about it?
I've had them on my '68 C/10 Stepside since I bought it in 1973, and I'll never change them out. I'd put them on my '71 Jimmy, but it has a fiberglas top and wouldn't go.
Anyway great progress on your
