Will f 350 mirrors fit
I have a 97 f 150 xlt and i do a fair amount of towing. (everyday from spring to fall landscaping) and also tow the family boat. Any ways my mirrors are too small and i have huge blind spots then with the boat i cant see anything. My question is will manual telescoping mirrors from a f 25 or f 350 1999 fit on my truck. The super duty ones look like the same 3 bolt set up. Also will this look weird?

I've seen these on our style trucks before. They don't look to bad IMO. I've been thinking about getting them myself. Only thing that sucks is they don't appear to be set up for power mirrors only manual.

I would 
You'd basically have to custom fiberglass the whole mounting system. I think someone on here has done it before, but realize that it's a one-off so, if it happens to get ruined, you're back to square one and you have to mold it all over again.
I'd like to get them too but it just "ain't" happening.

you contradicted yourself. If its NOT EVEN CLOSE then theres no chance of getting them to fit, custom or not.
Ive seen 3 trucks alone on this site that have done it. Yes its custom but thats always a good thing.
Go to the junk yard or you pull it salvage parts and get a set, youll pay like 20 bucks for the set, then who cares if you screw them up...
