And Pat that is why we love these trucks cause they take the abuse :thumright: :clap: :clap: unlike some of those other brands of trucks,, I was brought up if you want a truck to work and do what ever you want to, abuse it kick it,, then get a FORD or a MACK,, WANT TO just ride around and look pretty then go buy all others

Did the West Coast Jr. mirrors have a smaller mirror, less bracketry or what?

Robert,
Bought these off a gentleman on Facebook,supposedly came off a F-600 he had them disassembled for shipping.I'm assuming that all the parts are needed to put'em back together.I need some close up pics of the pivot points.Having a tough time with the thick spacer washers and lock washers.....it's all a mystery to me at this point.....here's what I've got so far....

Are you coming to SlickStock this Aug?

Looks pretty close to the way it should be and now I see why I thought you had double parts. different style than mine. I only have one brace and one u shaped mirror mount.

but its still a possibility.
