I'm not a fan of big passenger side mirrors. Any thoughts? Bill These old bolts are in my blood. Hard thing is focusing on just one. 1937 Chevy 1/2 ton panel 1953 GMC 2 ton. future car hauler

As you noted, they will most likely be required equipment on new vehicles by 2018/2019. A camera on a license plate holder seems a good idea. Things to consider: - how to view in the cab: maybe on a GPS screen? - how to get signal from rear-camera to cab/dash-display: wireless, or wired, or fiber-optic Tim 1954Advance-Design.com 1954 3106 Carryall Suburban 1954 3104 5-window pickup w/Hydra-Matic The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.

Jury is still out on how it will hold up. Our F550's come with them from the factory. Those display in the stock rear view mirror. Previously they used Hitchcam versions with the display on the dash. http://www.precisionautoupholstery.com/reverse-sensor-systems Mark 1951 Chevy Suburban In the Stovebolt Gallery Lots and LOTS of pictures Project Journal --- 10 pages worth!
