I just installed an 94" wide 13' platform grain dump on my FF-350 two ton. Looks nice but I cant seem to find mirrors wide enough that look decent.
They have to extend out about 14" from the middle of the door to see around the headboard.
Full size West coasters will work but dont quite look like they belong on the truck.
Any other ideas other then narrowing the platform dump body are more then welcome.

West Coast mirrors, even though not Factory correct, were available aftermarket, & at the Dealerships back then. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 98 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 98 | My truck originally had a cowl mounted bracket. Where the mount met the cowl was fatigued and broken out so I welded and patched it up smooth and saved the mounting bracket. Wont the original just vibrate and mess up the cowl again. Its go to stick out quite a ways to be of any use?
At this point maybe I`ll just go with some doormounted light west coasters with the rounded bubble back mirrors. Feel free to add any comments, and thankyou for taking the time to reply. John Drabik | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 98 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 98 | I went with some Grote 22063 West Coast mirror frames with Grote 16101 Bubble backed mirrors. While they dont look old they dont look out of place. Thank you all for the advice.
