Re: Anyone have these?..

sorry no pics but i think they give 67-72 trucks a mean good look. my friends 68 always look bad going down the road coming at you crusing on the highway. still to this day twenty eigth years later that truck still looks bad a$$. i got them on my truck also and i like the fact that i see everything behind me. stock hight wide tires i'm not sure how they would look on lower trucks.

Re: Anyone have these?..

Are these the 3" round mirrors? If so, that's what I have on my truck.

Re: Anyone have these?..

Are you talking about the low mount tripod style? I have them and like them. I think you need the bigger mirrors for a longbed or if you tow anything.

Re: Anyone have these?..

These Jr's were from the factory, and I like them for the visibility. The peeps are directed to the load area of the truck, although the right one is more for "balance" then anything else.

Re: Anyone have these?..

That`s them,right there! These are the mini version of the "trucker" mirrors and look pretty cool.They are little mirrors for the big truck look.If you`re not into a trucky look these aren`t for you.The only mirrors that don`t look like truck mirrors are about worthless for rear vision.We take our chances for vanity.I hear high heels are tough on women`s eet.Sure do wonders for those calves,tho`.

Re: Anyone have these?..

I have always liked those mirrors. My dads buddy has them on his 72. I wouldn't mind having bigger mirrors on my truck but I don't want to drill my doors.

Re: Anyone have these?..

Here's a couple pics with the full size "big truck" mirrors. I swap them out every once in a while, but personally think the big ones are a little too big.
