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.

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

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

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

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!

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!

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

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
 
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!:lol:

Rusbuilt do you realize you have nearly 250 replys and you haven't even started your project in earnest yet, popular much?

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