I am working on a display of IH/Navistar trucks and need a driver's side mirror for this International DuraStar Utility bucket truck. Any suggestions on where I might find one greatly appreciated. Thanks!

"Any suggestions on where I might find one?"

There are many sources for scale mirrors - 3-D printed or pirated parts - on eBay,  such as this one: Italeri White Western Star Australian Truck Cab Mirrors 1/24 | eBay

However, your Truck, being a First Gear,  is undoubtedly in 1/34 scale.      I doubt you'll find any mirrors in this odd-ball  scale.

Good luck, but.....  your best bet is to purchase two 1/24 scale mirrors

@chris Thanks for the ideas. You also bring up the possibility of finding a set of mirrors from a 1:32 scale big rig, there have been several produced.

@chris Score! An Ertl 1:32 scale Volvo tractor and trailer!

VolvoPlasKit132

A lot of great parts, including a reefer trailer. An eBay find for $31.15 shipped,I would have paid that just for the trailer; they must have a container full, was not a hot seller back in the day.

Thanks again!
