Trucker Tim Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Hello Crew. I went back through the archives and did a little reading on outside rearview mirrors. Anyone have a favorite model? How about the best quality? Largest diameter? Too many years of driving a semi have me a bit nervous to operate with proper vision to the rear. Don't want to scratch the "new" 48 Plymouth! Any help and opinions will be greatly welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackTheFinger Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I have the original inside mirror and a 4" peep mirror on the driver's door of my '47. It's really inadequate. I'm thinking a rear-view camera may be the best answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trucker Tim Posted December 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Hey Now! I didn't think about a camera! Nice idea. I'm used to great big west coast mirrors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashBuddy Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I anguished over this. I would have like to put on a pair of West Coast,rs but the thought of drilling holes into my pristine doors made me cringe. I ended up buying a set of 5" round black for that period correct look on my '50 B2B; never put thought hem on. Bought a pair of 5x7 with chrome backs 'cause like you I want to "see". Put one on and was a big improvement over the 5" round wide angle that came on the truck when I bought her. Things don't always go as planned wit Roxanne and I. Took me all weekend to change my engine and tranny oils. Got 'er done and she isn't leaking any more that previously See my other post LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trucker Tim Posted December 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Sweet looking truck! If you ever decide to go with a set of west coast mirrors I have a set of "Jr's" you could try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
