Re: Post up your mirrors
You can still see out of them but any shorter and they will interfere with the vent windows. I have to move my driver side mirror now to close the vent. But it is not a big deal.

Re: Post up your mirrors
Thanks, I will keep that in mind, I am going to repaint my 69 next winter and want to do a lot of subtle custom things, I may cut shorten the arms and move the entire mount back as well. That would solve the wing vent issue I think. Thanks again!

Re: Post up your mirrors
Used to have West Coast Jr's (aftermarket) as installed by the original owner
Now back to the original RV Jr's (mid length). I love these, stable when driving and have a great wide angle, especially with a trailer

Re: Post up your mirrors
I have the F150s and the low level tri-mount style. I haven't decided which one is going to end up on mine yet. I like to see, so I like the larger mirrors.

Re: Post up your mirrors
Looks like you have one piece windows. I'd like to see a side view that shows how the mirrors are mounted.

Re: Post up your mirrors
This is a stock west cost Jr mirror. It may look good (well I like them) on a truck the size of yours
