1972 blazer mirror?
 

ALL the 1972's had the mirror on the windsheild? Mine is supposed to be a 1972 but its above. Guess someone could have moved it??

My 72 blazer arrived with one mounted above. The mount was very different from the mirror mount on my 71 C10.

As with many of the model changes back then, there were some hold overs in the early production numbers for that year - Probably due to left over stock. You may have gotten one of those.

:agree: But ........................ My 72 has neither :hm: (Yet)

Moving the rear view mirror to the windshield was one of the 'changes' from the 71 model year.

If it looks identical to a 71 mount, then it's a hold over as Bouncy suggests.
If it looks after market then there's your answer.

Post pics, it would be interesting to see.

It is an OE. I have to repair a couple of the thread inserts that the top bolts to on the windsheild header so I am going to have to repaint it anyway. I was thinking of changing it to something else & filling the holes in while I was there.

Or someone simply took a mirror from earlier years and mounted it to the frame cuz they were tired of their kids allways kicking it off the window while pretending the roll cage was a jungle gym to play on :sexy:

Or your front clip was changed and you really own a 1970 K5 :lol:

Not that there would be anything wrong with that, right Burt4x4....LOL J/K

hahahaha Nothin at all ;)

I don't think thats it. The tag on the door jam looks factory rivited, it does match the vin number on the title so thats a plus!! The only thing I haven't got figured is the firewall is red under the dash in a few spots but it doesnt look OE. The original body color is like a pale yellow/green. It was turquois when my buddy bought it. Maybe someone started to do it red??? Then went turquois!! Why!!!!

After the windshield mounted mirror on my '72 fell off a couple times off-road I went to the JY and got one to mount to the windshield frame. PO might have done the same.
