I have a modification plan for it! Just to make sure I get to the bottom.... of the frame that is!

Rusbuilt · 02-13-2013, 11:29 PM

Well I shrunk my monster mirrors down today.

JRANGER · 02-13-2013, 11:34 PM

looks great rus!!

Rusbuilt · 02-13-2013, 11:35 PM

Thanks Jeff, I know I can actually see out of them now without having to stick my head out the window! lol

cubber · 02-14-2013, 12:04 AM

I like that. No hillbilly needs west coast mirrors anyway, lol. It looks a lot cleaner like that. Something about those style mirrors look "right" on 67-8's, I think.

**jkeating1** · 02-14-2013, 12:24 AM

Thank goodness! After you bag it, I was worried that you'd be knocking little kids off bicycles on the sidewalk with those things.

**jkeating1** · 02-14-2013, 12:26 AM

hey, what came off the cowl where those 2 screw holes are below the spotlight?

Haha yeah I like them now, I thought they would have more movement without that brace on there but they seem pretty solid.

Truthfully I almost killed a guy that was standing to close to the road! I had to do something!

I'm not sure but I would guess it was a dealer tag.

shawno72 · 02-14-2013, 08:18 AM

Looks much better. I would leave the passenger side for fun

I believe that if he did that, at the lofty top speed of 55 mph, the difference in wind drag would cause Miss Darcy to pull to the right! Why, I bet with both mirrors trimmed down, that truck will see speeds as high as 57 or maybe even 58 mph!

shawno72 · 02-14-2013, 10:46 AM

Watch out now

**jkeating1** · 02-14-2013, 11:47 AM

I thought about hard mounting a slingshot on my west coast mirror bracketry, for those times when hand communication doesn't quite express my true feelings!

Idk about going any faster but I sure can squeeze through tighter spots!

Easy now, you might put an eye out!

**thelonerife** · 02-14-2013, 08:46 PM

I'm glad you did that with your mirrors. I bet it makes the truck look a lot slimmer lol. Probably easier to get in the door too.

JRANGER · 02-14-2013, 08:48 PM

You should paint the mirrors black

hehe

Lol oh yeah. When I park next to a car in a parking lot I don't have to walk back behind the truck and around the car to get on the side walk now!

Rusbuilt · 02-15-2013, 12:39 AM

Lol yeah I thought about that just today as a matter of fact! Don't worry though its gonna get good soon!!

Rusbuilt · 02-15-2013, 12:40 AM

Plus you say the words "dually on air" and people tend to notice! Just like the guy running out of Kroger yelling "Fire"! lol
