tkobes43 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Doesn't look like it to me.

jaysm35a2 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Universal aftermarket , right? Shouldnt it have the half bulldog mirrors? And the drivers side mirror arm looks a bit funny like aftermarket. Talk about being over the yellow line while driving down the road. See how short and small the arms are, like a COE.

umodelnut Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 oh i thought they might be original. because almost all of them i see have the same mirrors. but that drivers side arm might be different. but i dont think it would have had the half bulldogs i thought it would have had the ones like yours jay that say mack on them. or would it tell me on my build sheets and where?

jaysm35a2 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Vinny, The correct arms and parts are cheap and easy to get for the most part if im right about the Bulldog ones. I have two that came off mine before I put the MACK ones on, if you want them . Pay shipping and you can have them.On the MACK ones Vs. Half Bulldog, didnt make go to the Bulldogs in the 70's? I have no idea on the exact details. ,Jay Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/22226-are-these-mirrors-original/#findComment-94840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 jay i think i want to use the mirrors that are on it. but im pretty sure now that the drivers side arm is wrong. i'll try to get the original arm from the guy we got my truck from if he has one. heres a link to what mine would have looked like but that one is a year older than mine. http://www.flickr.com/photos/54450682@N07/5422532790/in/photostream/ Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/22226-are-these-mirrors-original/#findComment-94842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vision386 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Tom,i was wondering that myself,judging by the shape of the grabhandle as vinny said,my guess would be a Diamond Reo "Royale"......late 1970's..............Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

jaysm35a2 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Anyone wanna take a stab at when Mack went from the MACK bubble mirrors to the half bulldogs? Those MACK ones are getting pricey and harder to find. Watts Mack does sell them though.Vinny , The arm is wrong. Like I said they are easy to find though. Same one thats on mine and the one in the pic you posted. I sure wish a I had a grille guard like that one has!
