I put a set of "Street Scene" mirrors on it.
And a cupholder! Well done sir!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: who is running without side mirrors?
I got these off Ebay. They have a Pentastar and part number on the back of the base and measure 5x7. I don't know the original application but they are quite sturdy. The support arm is solid; not hollow.
They will be used on my 73'. Here's what I'm looking to eliminate...the PO had Ford units.

Re: who is running without side mirrors?
I'm not running side mirrors and the only time I miss them is when I'm backing into a spot. Mainly the passenger side. My neck is on swivel so I use it more anyway.

That is a very unique and creative setup. However, what I see there is the added "safety" of rearview mirrors, and the cost of a huge blind spot. Although, those are by far the best looking mirrors in this thread.

I don't know about a blind spot. I didn't look through the vent window's when driving. I look out the side windows. I have never even tried I don't think. Are did. Sorry can't now for sure.
Thanks for the comment on the mirrors though. I do have a rearview mirror also.

I also like your set up. Your truck probably has A/C. Don't think I would want to do without the nice breeze from my wing windows. Especially in the summer.

Yes it has air.
Don't laugh to hard but the real reason I did away them is because I had quit smoking at the time and didn't want them anymore.
