Topic: 1947 Ford Truck side mirrors

  Greetings! I'm looking for a source for extendable or telescoping side mirrors for my 1947 Ford 1.5 ton truck. I've seen pictures of trucks with them, so I know they exist, but they must have been some 'aftermarket' item. Any information on what was available in 1947, as well as what is available NOW would be greatly appreciated. I've got a large headboard and will sides on this truck, and need the extra reach for the mirrors, but want to keep as 'period correct' as I can with the restoration. thanks! ( the picture attached is not my truck, but a picture I found online )

  Back in 1946, when I was a kid, my uncle bought a new 1946 1 1/2 ton Ford. As I recall it had a mirror on the driver's side only, attached to the door hinge. I believe it had a 5 or 6" round face and was adjustable, much like the picture you posted.
