who is running without side mirrors?

[big d's red67]

Trying to decide if I should put mirrors on the outside. I like the look with out them but I want to be able to see also. Give me your thoughts. My truck is far from stock so I am not worried about that.

[1970 C10 MJW]

i ran without them for like two days, i liked the look but on the drivers side i felt blind cuz you have to lean one way or the other to see around the big blind spot.. but the pass side mirror i didnt miss lol

[midniteblues]

when i got mine it had those little peep mirrors that you could hardly see anything out of .took them off idkwand am currently suffering without mirrors it drives me crazy I'm constantly looking too see behind me but not seeing anything. then its like damn i gotta turn around too look but when the time is right I have a nice oe set of jr rv mirrors too go back onI'll be able too see then

[dmw319]

just get some peepers! those things look neat. if i didnt have to restore the holes in the door thats what id do.

[jocko]

i couldn't even get my truck registered in CA without at least a driver's side mirror...
my 2 cents only - but I think the peep mirrors are way, way too small to be useful, driving with only 1 mirror makes the truck look crooked, and driving with no mirrors is unsafe. The factory did it right - if nothing else, throw on some gm sport mirrors, they look great and change for the sake of change at the expense of safety/function isn't always all it's cracked up to be.

I don't think I'd want to run without mirrors.

On my truck these mirrors look pretty sharp:

[tomis blair]

no mirrors for me.. blind spots are too bad when your surrounded by glass...

[50bomb]

I have a driver side mirror but welded the passenger side up. Personally I dont need the passenger side because I am alway looking over my shoulder.

I always liked the looks of the 69 Corvette mirrors on these trucks.

Really, This is even a question? Need at least one outside mirror and two is a much better idea. On these trucks peep mirrors are pretty much a decoration perched up on the top of the door frame. Sport mirrors or bullet/racing style would be pretty much a minimum for me.

[cdowns]

required by law is minimum drivers side// depends how much you can piss off a cop to get an equipment ticket

i like lots of big mirrors myself

What's more important....looks or function? Sport mirrors and peep mirrors look great, but they are utterly useless. Judging from the pic in your avatar, RV mirrors will look way out of place on your ride.

I'm not sure if this was directed towards me because i mentioned them.
they were oe on my truck and will fit the look i'm going for

and yes its is illegal here too you least need a dr. side mirror.
but at this time I'm only taken mine for joy rides around the block when needed. if i was too dd it again i'd atleast put the peeps back on(better than nothing)

we had the round mirrors like the above ones on the kids 67 and he didnt like them either(they looked better but hard too see anything plus they vibrated alot) so he put the bigger square's on the same arms its funny that the bigger mirror heads dont vibrate as much but they do whistle

too the op the round style mirrors look the coolest then the later smaller sport mirrors are second the rv mirrors look good on certain trucks but mostly bigger 4x4's. sorry for the story just wanted to explain

Looks! And trucks look stupid without mirrors. What's more important is rear ends look better without dents. Sure,there's plenty of glass,but to me only lousy drivers turn and look back and good drivers glance into mirrors.

I agree looks are important, that's my main problem I want something that looks good but haven't seen any I think looks good. Here in Jokelahoma if you just glance in your mirrors and don't look over your shoulders you will fail your drivers test immediately.

The looks opinion is definitely debatable....

Plus, I never trust my mirrors in any vehicle for a lane change. I'm always checking by turning my head. No dents either...weird....

I love the look of mine without mirrors.

Peeps look great! Get'em. I would never rely on mirrors soley when it comes to safety. ALWAYS LOOK. Oh, and I'm in with dhaymaker on that red seat!! That's just beautiful!

Let's not be so literal. I also glance to increase my peripheral scope and always "know" the lane is clear before changing lanes. I don't turn my head and look back,though,that's what mirrors are for. That's a good way to have an accident in front of you (and,probably flunk the driver test in MD). But,I can back up using only my mirrors. Maybe not in a shopping center or anywhere there are people walking all around. Oklahoma requires mirrors,right?
That truck looks great,really clean,but looks naked and unfinished without mirrors. That's just how I see it. I "expect" to see mirrors because they belong. Mirrors are a necessary evil (if you don't like them) and just part of a vehicle. I believe a person can have a different opinion without feeling everyone else has to agree (or saying their opinion is weird).

Looks like the majority of you guys say mirrors. Thank you to everyone the responded. Now lets see some custom mirror ideas because I can't find anything I like.

I think these trucks look better with mirrors. I prefer the 1969 style round mirrors. When you take off the mirrors, it feels like something is missing.

Exact same mirrors on my '69 and I like them. Don't think I would want to drive without side mirrors. And I agree that the round ones go well with the head lights.
