My style:
Original. To me they fit the style best.
I really dislike the "truck / trailer" mirrors as on Marty's truck from Back to the Future, and most others as well.

Modern, slim style mirrors won't work. It will look dorky like modern rims on ....

ymmv!

There's an adjustment nut inside the mirror that you can use to tighten them back up

im running the oem, as stated above I think it just fits the era. I actually don't dislike the truck trailer style mirrors, I tried to find info on what year variations came with them but no luck.

Thanks for the tip dude I had no idea about that. Unfortunately when I tool them off to tighten them up they're all rusted to heck and wont stay tight. I'll just grab a set of replacement OEM mirrors. I'd love the old farm style truck mirrors but I'm gonna smash those on the trail for sure and wouldn't want to ruin them.
