Anyone who can give a good hint on where to find rear mirrors for my 59 viking?

Have only on today, on the left side.
Would like to have TWO of the same kind.
And yes, they have to match the year of the truck, if possible...

LCT,

It may be easier and cheaper to have the right side ell brackets and arm made and then buy two matching mirror heads. The mirror head you have now doesn't look original, it look to big.

Before going to the trouble of making a right side bracket and arm you might want to confirm the support bracket with the captured nuts is installed inside the door. Take the door panel off to confirm it's there. If it's there you can take a centering punch and put it through the nuts and give the punch a light tap to mark where to drill the holes from the outside.

Take care!

Our 58 spartan came with only one mirror on the left side. It was round and five inches in diameter. My Son made a bracket for the right side(the support bracket with captured nuta was there)made two stainless steel arms and we bought larger mirrors.

Yeah that's an idea of course. To replace the existing one, and add one on the other one.. blush
