It would look good with some fiberglass work, it looks way better than the SuperDuty mirrors I saw on one did

I think those are the only good looking tow mirror out for our trucks. I hate the Chevy look-a-like tow's because of the angle they seem to have.

Agreed, I like them but feel like they look little to much like the GM's

I don't even know if they would fit on the trucks listed in the link from ebay.

Yes they will fit the Extended Cab trucks. Same exact mirror mount.\

Yeah, to Canada that is. I'm pretty used to bending over at the boarder one way or another. I did wind up getting these and they have been fine for a few years now. I was disappointed that the harness that came with them was a bit too short and I had to splice to lengthen it. As for the blind spot mirrors on the bottom, they are a life saver for sure.

after watching that whole video there's no way I'd do that to my truck. That dude had to cut off the mounting studs on the tow mirrors and drill and tap out new holes and then take apart his whole door and beat in a humped out part on it to get the later model mounts to fit plus trim/grind the outside edge and oh yea he said saw off another part too. Hell you might as well buy any tow mirror you like and rework everything to fit them. I've got a set of 70's style chevy bolt on 3 point mount mirrors that would be easier to fit than that. Didn't anybody ever make supercrew tow mirrors?

Thanks!

I like those mirrors.. But I'm not sure how they would look on my truck, (too big is what I'm thinking ?) ...But I would like to have better mirrors on my truck for towing!... I don't like the factory mirrors at all!

This is what I've been using for the past 5 years with my factory mirrors... They just slip onto the mirrors... With these I'm able to see down the sides of my slide-in-camper... Without them I can't see a **** thing! lol

EDIT: I don't know why it shows ''Current Vehicle 1997 F-250'' when you click on the link!... I have a 2002 F-150 and I added my truck before I posted the link!

If I could find someone that installed mirrors like the ones in the link I posted last night, I would buy them ''right now''!
