or at least a low mount of some kind...if you put the jr. west coast on, set a while at the intersection before pulling out....look many times both ways....
There's a real simple solution to eliminating the blind spot found in all the millions of trucks that safely ran,and still run,these mirrors. Move your head forward and back to see what's behind them. If you drive like you have west coast mirrors they are perfectly safe.
