So now we have added a newer 2004 fifth wheel, so shall see how this truck does with it.

Looks like you changed the mirrors - what was wrong with the flip and folds?
However that looks like a nice truck - should handle that 5th wheel just fine - but can you pass up a gas station

Well the drivers side rotted out inside, so had to take it off before it fell off, took one of our transit bus mirrors that actually is supposed to sit vertically and it fit on the horizontal shaft, so it ended up a temporary fix till I can get one put together from some old ford mirrors I have.
But I did like this one and if it was in the proper vertical orientation it would be ideal as it has not only the flat mirror in it but also on the bottom a convex mirror and it looks not bad on the truck.
Heck good enough for our bus drivers maybe I better put a straight up and down shaft on and keep it on.

And yes, on any holiday I get to visit a lot of gas stations.
