richard-b61 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Any of you old crusty Model B guys know what size the round convex mirrors on the fenders were? 6", 7", 8" ?? I have a 1961 B-61 that had the rusted brackets when I got it, but the mirror heads were gone. Watts B Model store has them, and they look to be around 6", but not sure. I can get them cheaper online else where. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34175-b-model-fender-mirrors/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 too big and they rattle and break the fenders.Exactly my thoughts. I never thought the B Cab had visibility problems as small as it is.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34175-b-model-fender-mirrors/#findComment-225939 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I like the looks of them on certain trucks. I put them o mine cause that's how my great grandfathers b1 was back in the day. after driving it to Macungie and Springfield Mass on the interstate I can tell you they are great to drive with. I use the driver side fender mirror all the time for quick glances. the passenger side I have turned up twards the stack for a ''smoke mirror''. I have another small spot mirror on the pass side door which helps for that blind spot while driving.
