That's a great pic 67! Maybe not of the mirror detail necessarily, but certainly a great pic of the Bronco in it's element.

I found these and I believe they also come in flat black. I was wondering if the lower attachment would require beefing up on the inside of the door?

I went back and forth on this a few years ago. Bought the fold aways but ended up staying with stock mirrors.

Go with the Ford 80's style mirrors... but NOTE: the F-150, Full size Bronco, Ranger, and Bronco II share the same rounded mirror heads BUT Ranger and Bronco II have smaller (and correct) swing away arms.
Getting a set of 80's F-150 mirrors (and arms) installed, and you look like you have "big ears".. The ranger and Bronco II arms are more proportional...

Agree about the big ears look. But that’s what I have on all three of my older trucks. I like the big view area.
I did buy a set of the smaller ones though and I’m gonna try those.

Get a picture sometime today for you.
Unless of course I can’t find the small mirrors because I put them in a stack!

I want to thank you for the offer, but I just want to see all options before I start drilling holes in my new panels;)

I like these but they install on the side of the windshield/pillar not the door, which is nice when you're using trail doors...not too expensive and you can find them on several online shops

Mirror heads are the same size. Big ears comes from the larger swing arms...

67 sport, I like how your ride looks too. Well done.

Since my 68 Bronco is a Harley edition I plan to get some nice Harley mirrors, pick the big ones for a bike but will be small for a bronco but have see some nice ones. May have to be ‘innovative’ with bracket designs but was planning to be spotless too and mount to the roll cage. Likely will be the only chrome on my ride.Or black chrome

Thank you.
When I was looking for mirrors, I really liked some of the bar mount ones, but wanted to keep the option of putting the doors back on if I choose. My doors only have the small driver side mirror, so I am hopeful these will still be viewable through te vent window, and I'll remove and save the original mirror
Post up your mirrors when you find them!
