Side mirrors on a restoration
Do you like the bigger side mirrors or the smaller ones? I think the smaller mirrors look better, but the truck always had big mirrors and I don't want to strip away too much of the things that make it a truck. I'm torn, but I think I'll probably go with the smaller mirrors.
What is your preference? (considering it's a frame off restoration). |

Re: Side mirrors on a restoration
I like the small ones also, but to me it depends on if your going back original or somewhat custom...

I tried them all and went with the 4" round stock one.
