pics of mirrors on our trucks
 
Hi all,
I'm trying to decide on new mirrors for my truck. Do any of you have pics of trucks with different mirrors (the rectangular sport, round with long arm, peep mirrors, etc.)
Thanks,
slow

Here is the ones that came on the '67 - early to mid '70.

It is a tough decision. After painting my truck (and getting rid of the camper mirrors on it), I really did not want to drill holes in my newly finished doors, especially for the original mirrors that I personally do not care for, so I used peep mirrors. And I only used them because I could not find any other mirrors that I liked. I'm still looking for something that I like, to no avail. It all comes down to personal preference I guess, but I'm not drilling holes 'till I find the right ones!

longhornmail- what was the code number for those mirrors? I am trying to find out what mirrors came with my '72. In any case, does anybody have the original mirrors on theirs with the code nbr D29? Sorry to sidetrack from the original question here.

dion 04-25-2002 11:34 PM

Here's mine, they look pretty good.

See my AD in the parts section. Have better pics to. Thought they were the 69-70 Blazer mirrors. Might just be generic replacements

i agree with case, no mirrors is good

hooter, those are also 71 72 mirrors, i have them on my 71 doors and doors never been repainted and are no other holes in doors
and sine they arent listed on glovebox door, or any othe rmirrors, then they must be either dealer installed, or standard equipment production mirrors in 71 :

I'm not proud of it, but I have the cheap Schucks specals on my K5. Don't waste your $ on these things. The passenger side doesn't even turn far enough to use it and I've had them less than a year and rust is shoing on the few metal parts.

Put the factory type round ones back on mine like in the 69 truck below.......gives the truck a unique look. seems like most of the time people switch to the 71-72 style mirror.

COBALT 04-26-2002 12:54 PM

The ones longhornmail posted were the RV mirrors that were actually offered as an option in '69, at least for the 3/4 ton C20. I know cause it's listed on the sticker.

Yes, they are fugly. Can't wait to get rid of them. They also screw up the outer door shell:

If you go with case_bt, beware... the fuzz will be on you like white on rice. In AZ you are required to have two mirrors, a drivers outside mirror and either a passenger outside mirror, or a rearview. I got pulled over in Utah while I was in the '69 and no outside mirrors. Cop decided to search the pickup and found my gun and got all hurt. Almost went to the pokey! Anyway, that's another story. The cops in my hometown would tell me to get a mirror, but never pulled me over to do it (you know, at the donut shop - "get a mirror on that thing, Bowen").

Case_bt,
A word to the wise, next time you share a picture of that sweet truck remember to delete the license plate or you will wake up one morning and it won't be there anymore. Not that anyone registered on this board would do that to you, but we do have visitors on here. Being from Texas too I know how thick the theives are down here. Be a little more carefull next time.

Benrs86 04-26-2002 07:46 PM

hey, i have the little round ones like in the first picture posted. i bought them from chevy duty. DONT BUY THEM FROM CHEVY DUTY!!! they are rusting, its been just over a year. it sucks, but they were only like 15 bucks, but where can i get them that wont rust this quick???? thanks,Ben

Longhorn Man 04-26-2002 07:47 PM

Most states will not give out your address. In Tx they won't, and Ohio they won't. I know L.A. in Cali won't do it eitherAlex, you asked what the code is on my mirrors...which pic? I posted 2.

I just got a pair like those from Chevy Duty, I just finished painting them today. I took out one of the screws that holds them tight and sprayed some lubricant in there so that might help with the rust. I don't think those ones are factory original Longhorn, the ones I had on my truck that rusted out had a bit of detail on the face, just a circular crease.

Does anybody know what the original finish the bolts should be that hold the mirrors to the arm? The part with the acorn nut on the end. The replacement mirrors I got have chrome bolts but my truck looked like the bolts were painted to match the mirrors.

Longhorn Man 04-26-2002 09:11 PM

On the first pic i posted, the arms are original, the mirror head is Wall Mart. I got the plastic convex ones...I can see BEHIND my truck from the side mirrors...cool as h*ll. I can also see the lines in the parking spot as I back into it. I rarely use side mirrors in traffic, I don't trust them. I always look over my shoulder, so they work fine for me, only time they suck is when there is a hot chick walking behind me in a parking lot or something.
