I am going to run the old style mirrors and not the west coast type. I got the mirror heads from Saturn but they did not have the mount arms. Said they did not know anyone that had them. Can anyone post some pic’s of the arms and measurements or have a set they are willing to get rid of?

Do you need the little 90deg elbows that go from the mirror head to the windshield hinge?
Or do you need the arm that goes from the windshield hinge to the elbow? I'd take pics but the files always come out too big to post. I might have some extra elbows out in the shed if you need them.

Do you have the standard(west coast) hood hinges? I'd trake mine for west coast hinges.

My truck has the solid arms that come off of the windshield hinge out about 1'. They are about 1/2" thick steel about 1 to 1 � � wide and have a hole at the end. The mirror heads I got from Saturn are about 8� square and have a flat bracket mount on the back.
Not a very good pic but you can see the mirror arm above the drivers door.

I found you a set of elbows and supports. I took the supports off because tree limbs are pretty hard on them. Besides they didn't vibrate with out them any way.

Mine has the arm from the windshield brace. It originally had the west coast type, but I liked these better off my 77 parts truck.

You could always go with a set of arms from a 10 ton like my Deuce has.


Ryan, I love your mirrors and arms. Can these be purchased easily from one of your ex military dealers?
They're off an M123. I doubt you have many of those in the UK. :wink:

Mine orignally came with the elephant ears. They torched them at the windshield hinges and installed west coasts. I hated them. They vibrated too much to see anything clearly and took a serious beating in the woods. With the elephant ears i can drop the windshield, pop off the mirrors with one bolt apiece and yank the exaust stack pretty quick. Those arms comming out of the hinges are pretty tough. They have removed a lot of tree bark.

Man that looks great. I'm glad they worked out. If you use your truck in the woods they are the only way to go!
