Mirror suggestions

I am looking to the not too distant future and deciding on final touches like interior door handles and such and it has come up that I haven't decided on mirrors.

My 66 will be a sort of hot rod flat bed. Purple with a tan interior.

What have you guys used on your trucks?

Would like to see pics and know where you got them.

Thanks,
Steven

Re: Mirror suggestions

My truck had the smaller west coast style mirrors on it so I just used the top arm of them and bolted new repop miror heads to them. They kinda' look like peep mirrors so I call them "farm peeps" or "cheeps".

Re: Mirror suggestions

Gorgeous truck jocko!

I really dig the "cheeps". Just a bit too industrial for my build but they just might inspire me to fab up something similar.

Thanks guys! Keep the suggestion coming.

Re: Mirror suggestions

Thanks for the link!

I think I will go with the straight arm peeps. At only $14.95, the price is right too.
