does anyone know of some good looking aftermarket mirrors for my 86? the stock ones are too big and ugly, i'd rather drive without them.

the trucks look cool but those tiny pictures dont really do any justice for the mirrors.

How 'bout the factory base D49 mirror?

They're definitely "small" -

My plan is to make a Street Scene style mirror fit onto my larger mounts for my truck. That way I do not have to redo the door skins and eliminate the holes.

shockermotorsports1 · 09-16-2009, 01:32 PM

the holes are only 1/4" it would take two mins to weld grind down fill and spray

the holes are only 1/4" it would take two mins to weld grind down fill and spray if you use the older model small sq they will cover the dumbo holes

Not with the paint job that I already have.

Motorcycle mirrors are an option we have used on street rods before. Nice, small, and clean.
