CIPA 5x8 Chrome OE Replacement Mirror Head for Ford-Style Trucks & Vans — Direct-Fit Ball-and-Socket

Replacement chrome mirror head that fits Ford-style truck and van mounts, with a 5" x 8" flat glass surface and adjustable ball-and-socket mounting.

This CIPA 95500 OE mirror head is a direct-fit replacement manufactured to original equipment dimensions for reliable function and appearance. It swaps into existing mirror brackets on either driver or passenger sides using the vehicle's current mounting holes and hardware. Finished in chrome with a 5×8-inch flat glass, the head is engineered for wide visibility and durable road use. The package includes the mirror head plus the bolt and lock washer required for attachment; the mounting bracket is not part of the kit.

Will this mirror head fit my truck or van?

The CIPA 95500 is built to match Ford-style mirror heads and many truck and van applications that accept a ball-and-socket replacement. Because it uses the original mounting holes and hardware pattern, it replaces OE mirror heads without modifying the bracket. Always compare the mirror head dimensions and mounting style with your existing part before ordering.

• Designed for Ford-style mirror head mounts and similar commercial vehicles
• Uses existing holes and mounting hardware—no drilling required
• Mounts on left or right side with the same head design
• Measures 5" x 8" for a broad flat-glass viewing surface

How easy is it to install this chrome mirror head?

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with mirror replacement: the head attaches to a ball-and-socket bracket using the supplied bolt and lock washer. There’s no drilling or special tools needed in most cases, and the mount allows the glass to be angled for proper sightlines. If your existing bracket is worn or incompatible, you may need to replace the bracket separately.

• No drilling—mounts into existing bracket holes
• Includes bolt and lock washer for a secure fit
• Ball-and-socket design allows multi-angle adjustment
• Standard hand tools typically suffice for installation

What are the materials and durability details?

The mirror head uses rugged, heavy-duty construction tailored for road use and exposure to the elements. Its chrome finish provides corrosion resistance and a polished appearance that complements many vehicle styles. The flat glass gives clear, undistorted reflection suitable for towing, lane changes, and general rearward visibility in trucks and vans.

• Chrome-coated head for weather resistance and aesthetics
• 5" x 8" flat glass for accurate reflection
• Heavy-duty build to withstand regular vibration and road conditions
• Hardware provided to ensure a stable, long-lasting mount

What comes in the box and what else might I need?

The package contains one chrome mirror head, one lock washer, and one bolt—enough to replace a single head on most compatible mirrors. The vehicle’s existing mounting bracket is expected to be reused; if the bracket or base is damaged or not compatible with a ball-and-socket head, purchase of a bracket or full mirror assembly may be required. No electrical components are included.

• Included: chrome mirror head, bolt, and lock washer
• Not included: mounting bracket or full mirror assembly
• Not included: wiring, motors, or heating elements
• Recommended: inspect existing bracket for wear before installation

Who this is for: drivers and fleet managers who need a straightforward, OE-dimension replacement head for Ford-style truck and van mirrors will find the CIPA 95500 a practical choice. It’s ideal for those restoring appearance after damage, replacing worn mirror heads, or upgrading to a chrome finish without changing the existing mirror mounting system. If you require heated glass, electrical adjustments, or a replacement bracket, consider a different CIPA model or a complete mirror assembly that includes those features.
