Any small mirror will be less effective; billet, oem, or otherwise when compared to anything larger. I think people get so used to newer style mirrors they forget how to use older mirrors. I run stock 71-72 sport mirrors and have no problem seeing 360 degrees using my mirrors or looking over my shoulder. These trucks by far have a better panoramic view when compared to newer trucks.

In a comparison of mirrors, the best are west coast style. If you can stomach the look (some hate 'em) those elephant ears will let you gaze 2 lanes over, 2 cars back at the lady texting if that's what you feel you need.
