I'm trying to replicate my truck, a '93 F-150, ex county work truck special. So I'm looking for a source for Ford Type 9 mirrors and a 300 six. I do know the mirrors were in the Revell Explorer, but were they in any other kits? photo of the mirrors attached. I know I've seen a 90's 300 six in factory trim somewhere (resin or 3d print) but can't remember who was selling them. 

Thanks for any help.

This old kit has a fair representation of those mirrors.

I think I have two sets of these. If you’re in the US, you can have a set if you think they’d work for you, just pm me your address.

thank you both. I just realized I have that kit. If I find that 300/ 4.9 I will post the source. I know Texas 3D does have a 300 in several variations, but not the "late" EFI.

Another potential source for mirrors are those horrid Ford Courier kits Revell released in the 70s. The mirrors look pretty good.

some how I managed to post the same question twice.  I was mistaken withe Texas 3d.  They have Mopar slant sixes and GM in-lines. VCG is the one with 240/ 300 sixes listed. the stock is a 1 bbl carb. there are hotrod, performance, and vintage race versions as well.

Thank you everyone. Wile looking through my stash for another build, I found that the SuperStones F-150 has the exact mirror and it doesn't look oversize like the ranger mirrors. As for the engine, I think I'll order a stock six from VCG and modify the kit V8 EFI to fit. I have to modify it to six runners instead of four and fab an intake manifold. The air filter housing and intake hoses are accurate enough for me.
