Western Mirror with Clearance Light
I've found almost no information on these! My 1970 F350 was equipped with Western Mirrors with Clearance Lights. I've found a wiring diagram for a 1972 with them, but no pictures. I think I've found where they were wired to, but at some point they were removed. Does anyone have any pictures of these? It's a Canadian truck, so maybe it was a Canadian thing? I know I'll never find originals, but I'd like to mount and wire replacements as close as I can to original. Thanks!

Re: Western Mirror with Clearance Light
The shop manual contains information for all F series up to 700, mirror clearance lights were not offered on lighter trucks with 3 arm mirrors, however they were mandatory on some mediums (5 arm). The wiring harness has a pigtail for cab lights, and that harness could have one for the mirrors. You may be able to see an F500, or perhaps a bus with them, the wires were just wrapped around the arms. That was a larger mirror, not the same as used on most light trucks, if your F350 is the long wheel base with 10,000 GVW, it could have them.

Re: Western Mirror with Clearance Light
Thanks for the info! It is a long wheel base and 10k gvw. I'll do some more checking in the shop and parts manuals.
