what style is your truck? We don't even have an idea since there's nothing in your signiture.
Peeps look good on a slammed, slick looking pro touring, or even on an old school rat rod (using the term loosly) lookin truck. If you have a bone stock rig, they look stupid, just like on a lifted 4X4 or a daulie.

Okay, here's a suggestion......not that I would run them....then maybe I would.

Get the stock arm for a round/rectangular mirror that mounts to the door. Then, install a Maltese cross (motorcycle) mirror on it. If you're driving a stock truck, it would look different.....

Here are some 96 fo#% truck mirrors I painted and put on my '70. I think they looked pretty good. I've never seen another truck with them before. They were super easy just drilled two holes and used the original screws.
