    Trying to decide on where i wanna go here and have seen several things but searches leave me still lookin. I have seen people use motorcycle mirrors, stock, crome aftermarket ones. but what do you think is the best looking?

    Lets see some picks of you mild to completely custom mirrors. Or mabye not even yours mabye just ones you like or are planning on gettin someday.

    I kinda like small ones and billet.

    :silly:

    on my 78 i used an old VW mirror i got at some abandoned car in a field. i modified the mount a little and ran it through the tiny front triangle by the window. i had the giant towing style mirrors. i have yet to see another. seths blue truck, and others, use an early 60s mustang mirror, some people use stuff like monte carlo mirrors, ect.

    heres a shot of mine though.

    thanks. other than the few things i took off (big mirrors, mud flaps, bumper feet, rear bumper, ect) and the drop, wheels, mirror....thats pretty much how it looked when i got it. im still shocked it looks so good in the pics from that day because i didnt even wash it. just steel wooled my shiny stuff :D

    I added the sail panel mirrors on mine. Had to drill the holes on the outside. All it had was the drivers door ugly faded black mirror.

    These are what i was going to go for but still havent totally decided. Are these from ebay by chance they sell these on there. I am really picky and have to have the mirrors mount in the "sail" area. Let me see if i can find a pic of this guy who used billet motor cycle mirrors.

    could take the blank cover panel that some of the trucks had, and mount a mirror to that if you have them there stock. so youd have a clean little cover/mount. or if not, and its still metal, just bolt a bike/vw mirror through the metal. its how i did mine. i dont care about a shotgun mirror. these trucks are little.

    This is where I bought mine. They're full plastic and the mirror is a little curvy, but they'll work until I can get better ones.
