@gringeltaube , @msgjd - you guys are amazing! It's priceless to have you onboard when building a model! Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction. It's not going to be easy to build, but now I have the feeling I know what I'm doing, so I think I can make it! Thanks again and have a nice day

There must be a reason they put the extra wide 10-ton mirrors on those tankers (?)
yes, the operator(s) wanted it to look cool !! :D ... and better visibility in tight spots for sure , although the small rectangular mirrors on the early deuce A1's & A2's were better than round lollipops , but yes we operators definitely preferred the west-coasters (except when the trees or overhead truss bridges got really tight! .. slapped mirrors with other trucks more than once )
