I love the newer style mirrors but wish there was a bracket to make them mount decently on our trucks. The newer mirrors sure show what's beside you better than the original 70-72 sport mirrors.

LOL! Not that it would be much of an improvement.
I still can't figure why you like my twisted (in 2 places) and torn cowboy bumper.

honestly i dont like any of the older model bumpers, but on a 4x4 if your going to haul a trailer you really need a drop bumper IMO, my dad's truck has one on it, and i can hook a trailer to my bumper and the back is almost scraping, with his drop bumper it sits more level, both 3/4 ton 4x4, his 89 mine 71

this is the bumper i really want (below) but i havent figured out how to get it onto my truck without my dad noticing

(bad pic of his bumper)
