Mike - wasn't yours a special color? anniversary or something?
You have a good memory Bill. Yes, I suppose because mine had special paint that that's a possible reason that my mirror is painted body color. I looked of pics of that original '59 and it does appear to have a white mirror so that blows my theory about trucks with all the chrome having the mirror painted body color.
I don't recall seeing factory chrome mirrors. Are there really such a thing on the TF trucks? I know they make repro mirrors in chrome. Also, were the dual mirrors an option? Mine only has the single mirror.
