Those F@rd Mirrors
I need to put some mirrors on the Blazer. I've decided on the f@rd swing aways from the mid-80's and early 90's. Where have ya'll bought yours? I'd like to get some quality ones. I called the local ford dealership and they don't have any.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Those F@rd Mirrors
I have seen them on truck accessory websites.
You might try 1A.com. I had a set on my '72 GMC back in the 80's that I used to tow a cabin cruiser type boat and they worked real well. I picked them up real cheap at a flea market in California. Hopefully some one else will chime in. Danny |

Re: Those F@rd Mirrors
I drive a 91' F$(#D Ranger and you can buy replacement break-away style mirrors at O'Reily's for like $11 a piece. At least you could about a year ago when i replaced mine. They have a tendancy to wear out and collapse inward at highway speed from the wind drag.

Re: Those F@rd Mirrors
They are all over ebay, but if I'm putting holes in the door, I want to do it just once. I'd like to get a high quality mirror. I've noticed some are $70 a pair while others are cheaper. I don't mind paying more, but I want to make sure the quality is there.

Isn't there a language filter for that "F-word"?

Re: Those F@rd Mirrors
the peeps look cool, but in all reality, they suck. (at least every one I've looked in) I would think long and hard on the ugly ford lookin mirrors, but that's me.

Re: Those F@rd Mirrors
I was thinking about ones Like these .
I kind of think truck would look better with the larger mirrors. But I do like those black and chrome ones.

Re: Those F@rd Mirrors
Well I was originally going to go for the original sport mirrors, but the wife said a truck that size wouldn't look right without bigger mirrors. Now I'm torn. I'm with you on the quality thing.
I'm towing with it this week and I've got those clamp on fender mirrors going strong. I just wanted to order some before I leave tomorrow so I could have them to put on when I returned. Keep coming with the ideas and opinions. Gotta love the board!

Re: Those F@rd Mirrors
Has anyone tried mounting these mirrors on to a 67-72 Chevy?
