I have seen a few in earlier models and later but have struck out when it comes to finding a mirror for my 55.1.
Thanks, Chris

All in all with hardware around $50.00. I can live with that.
Thanks, Chris

Very nice looking truck you have there. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 531 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 531 | I just bought a new oldstyle chrome arm and installed it. It has the scallop type look, real purty... I figured I'd put in a day/night mirror as this will be my daily driver but when the mirror arrived it has the threaded shaft that goes thru the arm with the bolt attaching on the end... the arm only takes a mirror that threads dirctely and not thru the arm... I haven't figured out what I'm going to do yet. The other problem I think I'm going to have is the new visors I installed my be too long and will hit the mirror.... nothing's easy. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 394 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 394 | nice looking truck, time-time-time if you use it right you sure can be proud of the results, drive happy mike | | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 288 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 288 | Truckernix,
That was a hydraulic lift that the body shop had. Not sure if it was there own invention, but I suspect not.
Thanks guys, and spring for us is just around the corner.
Take care, Chris
