Slick 60's

Since I will be towing with my Slick, the ability to see behind me is rather important. My truck came with some JC Whitney west coast mirrors that functioned well but looked pretty awful. I bought replacement stock round head mirrors that are next to useless. I have no idea what my truck may have actually came with as the rectangular mirror holes in the doors had the plugs in them and were obviously painted over, so I believe my truck did not come with mirrors mounted there. I have a few holes not from the Whitney mirrors in the doors but no clue what may have been there. I'd like to get a handle on what OEM mirror options may have been available, so if you've got pictures of your truck with genuine FoMoCo mirrors of some sort post 'em here.
This was just posted in another thread and I think these may actually work for me. Were they an option? Part number?

I also like those. Where do we get them? I think those are probably Ford because they use the Ford door mount.

those are the best mirrors in my opinion as no extra holes are needed.

the mirror heads that fit in the poles are common mirror heads with a single threaded stud on the back.

i got most of mine already on the trucks,and found a few on e-bay.

there are both painted and chrome style heads, square and rectangular.

short pole mirrors use just the main pole, theres also some long pole versions that have telescoping rods that also attach to the door. (more holes needed)

Ask Number dummy to part number, post and locate some,

I gave a set to good2bea9 and i don't think he used them on his 4x4.

I also like the "pole mirrors''-you can use them for towing/gopher and they're easy to change back to the chrome ones for rod runs or SS4. Just takes 4 bolts.

This style is my favorite.

I like the round ones too!

I liked my round ones so well that I just sold them.......................

Slick, are those the ones you got from Tom ? They look great.

I have the stock round mirrors and don't have any trouble with them, I also am not towing anything. So what they areshort on my inside mirror lets me see. Good Luck

I would also like to locate a pair of those 'pole mirrors'. I'd turn the mirror head 90 degrees - this would shorten them a bit (easier to see over/around from inside the cab) and they would be more 'user-friendly' for when I was towing a trailer.........

i will have the round mirrors on my uni.
only 1 thing i do not like, its the plastic piece that goes thru the door hole.
i am going to make some steel ones or modify some i already have.

Are these the pole mirrors at Carolina Classics? The rectangular head type.

no. those look like they are for 57-60 trucks.

I thought they might bolt in the same as later mirrors.

Ice are those mounts plastic? Mine appear to be pot metal castings that are chromed.I'm also thinking about making some stainless ones.

could be . they are very light. cheap is the descriptive word i think.i have seen many broken ones.

the mirrors on the link jakdad posted will probably work if they fit in the door hole. i wish those places would have bigger pics of the stuff they sell so you can see the details.

Yeah. I got some.... they're Beautiful.... But I cant see JACK SHIZZLE in the right side mirror.... It wont tilt in far enough toward the truck for me to see anything useful. Mostly just a blur of trees and crap. Marginally useful for backing up but not really
