Exterior mirror set with swing-out extension for towing - NOS

[1986F150Six]

I believe Gary has a set of these. Notice that the mounting is wider and more heavy duty than the regular mirrors.

I have them on my short bed.  I never thought I would use them when i got the truck, but I often do.  Very handy.

Those are weird to say the least. The lower mount is from who knows what, and the upper mount is awkward as well. I kinda doubt these are OEM. The quality just doesn't look to be there.

They might be NOS OE, but not for bullnoses.  These are easily-identifiable by the 3 bolts per mounting pad.





My guess is that those fit the older (?-79) dentside trucks.

The upper arm is too straight, the mirrors would point towards the sky if they were mounted on a Dentside and the bottom bracket probably wouldn't even touch the door. The mirror heads are correct for 80-82 trucks and vans, but the rest is just wrong for the entire Ford pickup lineup, and even the Econoline.

I'd be willing to guess that these are Ford heads on frames made for a completely different vehicle, but not even a Mazda or a Toyota of that era.

Looks like originally for vans:

The arms on the van trailer tow mirrors must be longer which would put the lower bracket into the recessed body line and that's why the lower mount looks bent.
