Mirror suggestions
 
I am looking to the not too distant future and deciding on final touches like interior door handles and such and it has come up that I haven't decided on mirrors.

My 66 will be a sort of hot rod flat bed. Purple with a tan interior.

What have you guys used on your trucks?

Would like to see pics and know where you got them.

Thanks,
Steven

My truck had the smaller west coast style mirrors on it so I just used the top arm of them and bolted new repop miror heads to them. They kinda' look like peep mirrors so I call them "farm peeps" or "cheeps". :lol:

Gorgeous truck jocko!

I really dig the "cheeps". Just a bit too industrial for my build but they just might inspire me to fab up something similar.

Thanks guys! Keep the suggestion coming.

This earlier thread has a few different ideas mixed in with the more common choices:

Thanks for the link!

I think I will go with the straight arm peeps. At only $14.95, the price is right too.
