really ?then they hit both sides the same lol
seen trucks get hit just not the same on both sides lmao
hmmm this one is still straight

na it must be that rare Canadian option C2020

motornut · 02-24-2011, 12:14 PM

taken when i bought it
before i changed them
figured it was cause of the shorter truck

CLASSIC87' · 02-24-2011, 12:38 PM

Not like an "accident" but where someone bent them in... hell maybe someone bent them in too fit into a smaller garage... I dont know... and yeah the Canadians could very well be different.

motornut · 02-24-2011, 12:44 PM

yup had thought of someone bending them but no hint of stress there
and of course now i can't find a pic anywhere online (of others)or in my files here
still got em at home i'll get a better pic of both this weekend
close up on a table

motornut · 02-24-2011, 12:55 PM

didn't think they would bend without getting kinky or snap/break off

Walts_restoration · 02-24-2011, 01:09 PM

Yours are slightly taller too, so they sit higher and closer to the body. Wierd.

CLASSIC87' · 02-24-2011, 01:31 PM

^^^Looks like they may have flipped the support bar end for end and reinstalled them. If you look at the wreck burb above you can see how long they are inside the mirror housing.

Look like the van style mirrors to me.

baclay9 · 02-24-2011, 06:16 PM

My truck had some cheap aftermarket mirrors on it when I bought it and they were shaped the same way.

piecesparts · 02-25-2011, 12:36 PM

West Texas Z · 02-25-2011, 12:47 PM

Looks like it has a Ford Lightning Body kit.

3r!c84 · 02-25-2011, 02:32 PM

i was thinking the same thing when i seen the back! eh not my taste.

texastruckjunky · 02-25-2011, 05:42 PM

The bent ones come off the vans. On the truck the wing window hits the mirror, but not on the vans.
