Tow or towing mirrors... Yeah, they are pretty unpopular in these parts. Not dogging on your preferences, but the conjecture on here is elephant mirrors, and that's it. I happen to agree, myself. The dumbo mirrors have great visibility and aesthetics.

What a shame, that’s in your junk yard here it would be revered for its condition.

Some of the cars and trucks that go through the yards here would make a grown man cry. I watched a 1970 longbed get picked clean in one day. It was a complete truck when it hit the yard, a day later it was down to the frame.

I've been trying to get my brother in Ohio with a big trailer or my friend in MI to come down here and load up on OEM parts. I'll bet they could spend about $2000 and have the parts for their trucks, a free trip to Tx and a few grand in their pockets by the time they sell the rest of the parts. A $175 bed off that SWB down here would sell for $2000-2500 in the rust belt.

I've actually seen people pay that much for a good OEM rustfree SWB bed. It's ridiculous. I've been offered LWB beds for free or less than $50...
