Mirror ideas




My truck is going to be paint jail within the next few weeks.. Looking for ideas of what mirrors to install.. The mirrors I have know don't work well but I use them when I'm backing my truck in the garage (it's a tight squeeze) thanks

Re: Mirror ideas

I like the stock mirrors and I too have a tight garage. I did end up breaking my passenger side mirror (unrelated incident) and replaced it with a convex mirror. It really helps with more viewing area. Still not great but it could be what you are looking for if you want to keep it looking original.

Re: Mirror ideas

Better mirrors are bigger mirrors and I have a feeling you don't want those on this truck. The standard 71/72 mirrors are the most sleek and no aftermarket mirror of that size will give any better results. Might just have to twist around to look backwards. I just watch my driver side backing through a doorway. If the driver side is good, the passenger side is.
