Re: Question for the guys with OEM 71-72 sport mirrors
 

I put on aftermarket sport mirrors and had to do this to adjust the passenger side in enough to see. Not hard to do at all.

Might help

I guess I got lucky. I bought a set of repop mirrors with the passenger side a convex mirror. I don't have an issue seeing down the side of my truck and the other lane. I'll admit not as good as the factory mirrors it came with but with the excellent visibility thru the back window I feel secure driving.

Now if I had a camper on it or towing a large trailer, better mirrors would be a must.

I had a set of the west coast jr on my 68 and nearly got creamed when I pulled out of a spot and a car came out of the blind spot created by those mirrors. They were too big for a pickup, my opinion. I put the sport mirrors on and have no trouble with either side. Those of you that are having the viewing problem, I read maybe on here, that a fellow took and used a rotary tool and carefully ground a little bit off of the mirror arm to allow the mirror head to turn in further. I don't think it would take too much to make it work. If you have the mirror already it would be worth a try. My $0.02 worth. Have a good one and good luck.

Was not happy with my re-pop mirrors! I taper ground the bace, spaced the mount and die ground the retainer. It works.

I am looking for a passenger side spot if anyone wants to sell one.

Thanks for posting that red-marked page from our truck bible. Good Stuff!

Reviving an old thread I started….. with a new question- has anyone found a usable mirror that has the same mounting hole pattern as the 71-72 sport mirrors? I don’t want to drill new holes but I do want a new mirror. Someone mentioned they bought sport mirrors that had a convex mirror on the passenger side, this would be a good solution as well. Who sells these? Thanks.

I know LMC has convex ones: https://www.lmctruck.com/1967-72-che...n-door-mirrors, part # 38-5851, which I believe are just United Pacific C707202.

I've got aftermarket mirrors. Not repops, they're 4" round actually. Same problem with the passenger side, can't turn it in enough to be of any use at all. I even played with it's position before installing it and it just wouldn't give me the field of view I needed.
I installed it and spent a couple bucks on a stick-on 3" plastic convex mirror and it actually works pretty good.
At least now I can see in the next lane to change lanes or back through my very narrow gate if I need to.

Thanks to Reddeye, I have found and bought a passenger side mirror with a convex mirror. I have not installed it yet though. Thanks for all the input!
