Nice work. I don’t think I’ve seen a driver’s side mirror like that before. Is that an old school CF thing?

I’ve only seen it on CF trucks. I read that is was so the driver could see the awning over the dock as he backed in to make sure that the trailer cleared. Whether that is the reason or not I don’t know.

I was told by a very old CF driver it was to remove one of the blind spots, that being the car hiding behind the mirror.

Nice job on this CF truck. Nice touch with that mirror conversion.

Nice job detailing this rig. Are you building doubles/triples for it too?
