Re: What mirrors?

I did have those mirrors mounted too far forward for vent wings.


I've got swan neck mirrors that I am going to run this time around as I feel that they fit the total build plan a lot better.


Cole Foster had a mirror mounted right at the leading edge of the style line of his old truck that you really don't take much notice of if you aren't looking for it. Understated as a lot of things on that truck were when he had it as his daily driver.

That would clear the wings unless you wanted to turn them around to catch air to get more breeze inside.


I snagged this photo off Ebay years ago but didn't pay attenton to the mirrors then.

Not ugly, and unless the truck is a slick custom build they wouldn't look out of place. Far better than cow truck mirrors hanging on the doors too.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
