You are correct, the custom towing mirrors for Ford trucks are hard to figure out. I put together a set of photos that show the 3 different styles of mirrors our custom towing mirrors will fit, and listed the part number you should use for each of those mirrors just below the photo, see link. I also provided a link to each of those parts for you.

If the mirrors on your 1997 F-350 are different than these 3 mirrors you will need to use a set of Universal towing mirrors, see link. I have tried several styles of universal towing mirrors on my truck and the one that actually works the best in my opinion is the CIPA Deluxe Door Mount Mirror, # 11650. The mirrors do not shake nearly as bad as other universal style towing mirrors and the glass is large enough to provide a good view when backing.
