Fender Mirrors for a 1975 Jimmy?

[Mike Phillips]

Anyone have any suggestions for mirrors that can mount on the front fender?  

No doors = No mirrors = No tow boat...






Need to tow boat... anyone have any experience or suggestions for mirror that would mount on the upper fender area nearest the cab?

I'm not up to date on Jeeps but I think someone makes mirrors for them that clip on to the hinge area for when they pull the doors off. Might be something you could adapt onto your Jimmy.

Go to a camper supply place, they might have some NOS clamp on fender mirrors left over from the 70's.

How about the newer style dumbo that goes on our trucks anyway, fits the contour of the fender, just a thought...

[Irish_Alley]

Just a thought but if you run that roll bar to the windshield then you can mount something to that almost like the ones that mount to the top of door

Early 60's ford cars have fender mounted mirrors they aren't very big though im not sure if they would help enough

I just bid on this mirror, would be cool to find a similar one...

NAPA is bringing in one that looks like this one to see if it will work for my application.



Which is like the one in the center of this photo


These are interesting... looks the top bracket is actually bolted to the hood?

[Mike Phillips]

Check out this old bolt on truck mirror...

That might work...

[Mike Phillips]

These are on eBay too...

Why get bolt ons? You can Jeep mirrors too that you can mount to the A pillar

[Mike Phillips]

I'm liking this one, it looks well built, real tough and if those tiles are standard 12" square tiles then I'm guessing that mirror is a about 8" in diameter?






Anyone agree?

I'm open to suggestions... I prefer something battle worthy, as in heavy duty or well built or both... something old is just as good as something new, in fact I'd rather find something cool just for the personality aspect.

The fan on the truck is off a 1972 Cadillac Edorado with the 500 cubic inch engine just because I was told the Engineers at GM designed it to pull the most air of all the fans they made... seems to work, my 454 never goes over 180 degrees

I really like the above truck mirror, looks real stout and the length is adjustable.

Here's another old truck mirror.  Ad says it has 5" round head and 9" arm

if you're wanting something battle worthy, look for a kind that have a stalk that will fold away when hit or drug on something, like dumbos do...  I like the last set, looks like 60-66 truck mirrors.
