Please help me identify these mirrors?
I bought my truck few months back, and never bothered to ask the guy i bought it from where he got these mirrors from, I thought they were standard. But after looking at countless pics of current restored trucks and past trucks I do not see them anywhere, please help me I just kind curious where they came from

They're inexpensive aftermarket mirrors once sold in every auto parts store and K Mart.

Thank you, I was kind of leaning towards the aftermarket as well just wasn't sure about it

Re: Please help me identify these mirrors?
I've heard them called ''Ford mirrors'' but I'm not well versed in that firm's equipment, so I would concur on calling them aftermarket generic.

Below is a picture of a Ford mirror on a '88 or '89 Bronco. The mounting brackets appear to be slightly different from your mirrors. It looks like there are other subtle differences as well.

That style mirror was optional at least as far back as the 73-79 f-series. I've never seen an original set on a 67-72 f-series, but wouldn't swear they weren't available.
Hope it helps. |

Re: Please help me identify these mirrors?
I think the OP's mirrors are the Ford style but not as actual Ford mirrors because of the mounts. If they are Ford mirrors they'll have a logo stamped on them somewhere.

Re: Please help me identify these mirrors?
Mine are aftermarket mirrors as there are no ford logos anywhere in site, but after looking at the pics of my truck before restoration(since I have them) it had these mirrors as well, I am guessing first owner put them on, I am just the third owner of this truck
