Hi everyone!

First of all I'd like to say GREAT site! I would like to know where I can get west coast mirrors for my truck. I got a pair from a local auto parts store,but they were the adjustable kind and when on my truck they would only fit at the very end of the adjustment {not very sturdy}I am looking for somthing close to factory type.

I bought a set of mirrors on ebay for my K-20...........By the pictures I swore they were stock GM. I got them, bead blasted and painted them, and after we had the flint grey paint and clear coat on them, I noticed the itty bitty "Ford" script at the bottom of one of them............Sure enough they are both Ford Pickup mirrors. Even though, they fit nice and I like them.

If you want to buy new, you may also want to try some of the board vendors. One that I know for sure is...

Link to their catalog page for West Coast mirrors...

There may be other board vendors who would gladly help you as well. Link to Vendor List...

Thanks, but I was hoping for something different. I've been thinking about the small mirrors that mount high on the door, and was thinking those could have been them.
Thanks,
