same way a dully or a wide flatbed would. I got looks for taking a car trailer through the taco bell drive through... never even rubbed the curb.

yep, thats the one. I also saw a regular cab long bed OBS a few days ago around town with some crome ones. After seeing that truck with them, my mind is made up. I just need the cash.

Why not just use the factory tow mirrors that come on the OBS trucks? Like these. I can see around anything I tow with these mirrors.

sorry i haven't been on for a while. I've spend a good amount of time towing stuff in Vermont and Maine this past week or so.

I don't find the drive-through a problem. First off I rarely go to them and half the time I already park and walk up since the parking lots are to small to get my trailer around in or I don't have the right clearance.

yep, that's what I have. Reg cab and long bad with a cap on sometimes. I think I may have spotted some west coasts at a place a few miles from me. I'm gonna check it out tomorrow since I was in to much of a rush.

F.Y.I. they're gonna be cheap. Go to a junkyard and ask for and Ford F700 or F800. They use the same door as the OBS 2 & 350 so the mirrors will fit with a little drilling and be designed already for the door. I'd imagine $50.00? I think I'll call some yards tomorrow.

honestly I don't like the look. Plus, can you get them heated? I'm gonna be in vermont and towing a trailer. Worst way to start a morning is needing to back using only mirrors and they're all fogged or wet or iced or something.
