i've never actually seen a stock peep mirror on our trucks

though i have used the stock mirrors for hundreds of thousands of miles without a problem
Out in one of my sheds there is a box with a bunch of peep mirrors in it. I've tried them on the 48 an on my old 51 Merc coupe. They are pretty well useless to see with and their main function is to satisfy law enforcement that you do indeed have an outside mirror. You pretty much just wear a bicycle mirror that mounts on your hat.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
