Dorsai Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 How is your foot? Not bad, all things considered - I don't drive my truck for speed, so I think I'm pretty reasonable. But I've never tried to hypermile it, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Yes, Cory. This would simply be to lower wind resistance during the extended highway drive. Ok, that's what I thought. I'll send you my old ones if you want to try them out. No charge to you...I'll be getting rid of them anyway. Shoot me an email if interested. If not, no big deal.

Gary Lewis Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Well, Cory [Rembrant] is sending his "old" Type 5 mirrors to me, so they will be in place for the 600+ mile drive to and from Skiatook. Thanks, Cory! Cool! Be careful getting the mirrors off. Don't spin those nuts on the inside of the doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Cory! These old mirrors needed a place to go, and I'm happy to see them spend some time on I-40 for Bullnose MPG testing! They might decrease drag, but they'll also decrease your rear view...lol. I just cleaned them up. They're not perfect, but they'll look just fine at 60mph.

Rembrant Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Those look pretty nice from where Iām sitting! š The iPhone shows them well. They're a bit grungy around the edges up close, but they'll look good on the Interstate! I already have a brand new set, so these ones needed a home anyway. I would likely have thrown them out, so I'm glad they'll get some use, even if it's just for one trip;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
