And even when they got the RH Mirror, it was this little tiny thing. I was from the generation of the Senior West Coast Mirrors. The generation before me had those "little" Mirrors. At the small outfit I worked for (approx 6 Large Trucks, 6 1-Tons) I was the first one to put a Convex on the RH Side. All the large trucks should have had them really, but on a GMC 9500 Tandem, it was pretty much a necessity. I drove it for months without one and what a difference after I put one on there.

Like Tim mentioned, I can't imagine trying to back up a Semi on the blindside yet with one of those little things. I don't know how they did it back then, lol.

How about one with a Sleeper on the back to boot ??
