RV mirrors. I was looking at a Coe on Ebay and he noted his mirrors were from a motor home. So search motor home RV mirrors and I found these.

Thanks. Know I've seen that style somewhere. Looks very good!

The worst thing about driving rods and customs is the lack of view with the mirrors. I am getting to the point that I have a hard time turning around in the seat to see to back up so good mirrors are a must.

"Good" mirrors also create huge blind spots. I've almost pulled out in front of a couple of cars because they were hiding behind my big ole mirrors.

did you ever notice that Foose doesn't use outside mirrors.

Not exactly practical. I learned to drive without a right side mirror (none of our cars had them) but someone knocked my left side mirror off the car once. The couple of days it took me to get a replacement were miserable!

i use both outside mirrors constantly while driving. i'm a somewhat agressive driver

so i like to be as aware as possible to the old f@rts here in AZ

Hey: Some of the race car divisions I raced in had NO mirrors.

jaybee · October 02, 2010, 01:07:18 PM

Yeah, but I only need so much excitement in my daily commute.

I vote for chrome too and your mirrors are spot on the the style of the truck. Halibrand makes a great looking 5 spoke too. OK, I'm not sucking up. I just like your truck.
