Where to source towing mirrors
My truck originally had door mounted 3-point towing mirrors. The po took them off and apparently discarded them, so I have holes in both doors.
I bought a set of standard mirrors, but I haven't installed them yet. I'd really prefer to put the towing mirrors back on the truck. It keeps me from having to fill the holes, and I actually prefer the larger size. Does anyone know where I could source a set? I've been all over the net looking for repops and all over the classifieds, but found nothing yet. The photo is the style I'm looking for.

Re: Where to source towing mirrors
I checked out JC Whitney before. They have one thats similar, but it looks like junk, and I have no way to know if it will match my door holes since they give no info on it.
I know LMC sells one too but I have heard that is junk as well.

Re: Where to source towing mirrors
I've found zero of these trucks in junkyards around here.
The mirrors in that pic are not the right ones, I need the ones with longer lower arms. They come about halfway down the door.

Re: Where to source towing mirrors
If you look closely you can see that the ones in the reference pic bolt on below the curve of the door, while the ones in your first pic are on the curve.
This set is the 4-point mount that is larger even. As near as I can tell from my limited research (mostly on this board), there are 3 types of big mirrors. The 2 you posted, and then the in-between size I need. Here is another pic I found on the board.

Re: Where to source towing mirrors
theyre kinda dirty, the glass is good if you would like i can clean them up tonight and take a few more pics, i have an extra glass and backing, but no extra seal, also you should know that one mirror has a black seal one has a white.. let me know what you think
