Mirror Option
 

I was wondering if we could start a thread on mirror options and which mirrors were available it which years. I did a search and couldn't find a thread like this. I have seen a lot of trucks with mirrors that look like ford mirrors and I don't think they are original but I am amazed how many trucks have these mirrors. I attached a picture of the mirrors I am talking about.

Re: Mirror Option
 

those do look a lot like ford ranger mirrors, but they are most likely generic parts store pieces. I saw them at auto zone about 7 or 8 years ago and the guy said they've sold them for years.

Re: Mirror Option
 

The mirror shown in my pic is the standard mirror that came on a 71 or 72 truck if a different mirror option wasn't ordered. It is most often referred to now as the "sport mirror" and has no rpo code.

west coast jr RV mirror... white, silver and polished. 67-68 for sure, not sure what else...

Re: Mirror Option
 

These mirrors came on 2 of my 69s. Someone else may be able to provide the range of years they were available. They are listed as RPO code D29 R/V Mirror - JR on both of my trucks.

sport mirrors

sorry I couldnt get a better pic but wanted to show off and dont take pics of just mirrors lol

Re: Mirror Option
 

My truck had mirrors similar to the ones on that Blazer (You can see them on the picture in my profile). They were aftermarket from Western Auto or someplace like that IIRC

Re: Mirror Option
 

I wouldn't mind the ones on the Blazer in the OP if there was some kind of billit aluminum spacer block where the top mount is, so that the top of the arm was level.

Re: Mirror Option
 

I have seen the same mirrors mounted lower on the door and the mirror isn't on the same angle and the top arm is closer to level.

i like the mirrors on oldblues 68 mine has small chrome mirrors like the 73 plus has. any onw want to trade?

Re: Mirror Option
 

Thanks to a pic from oregonc20, here is the DF2 "CAMPR MIRR-STAINLESS" option.

Re: Mirror Option
 

the sport mirrors are just that....they look sporty at car shows but lack any value when actually used for their intended purpose. my 72 burb 3/4 ton has them and i'm planning to replace with a pair of stainless flip out towing mirrors salvaged from my dad's 84 burb. his 72 burb (before the 84) had the chrome tripod mirrors with the same big head as the towing mirrors and he rigged up a spacer on the tube to bring them out farther for trailer towing and left them that way. the big mirrors work awesome and make a truck look more like a truck

Re: Mirror Option
 

I'll add another, this beauty has the DG5 "W/C mirror-SR-LH&RH"

Re: Mirror Option
 

I just have a little hot rod 4 inch "peep" mirror on mine...

These are option DG4 - Below Eyeline Mirrors on the SPID on my 72 GMC.

Re: Mirror Option
 

yeah.....those are the mirrors i'm talking about. my dad's 72 burb had them. with a piece of tube that matches the diameter of the arm and a longer bolt, you can extend them out for trailer towing. converting back and forth would take no longer than a set of towing mirrors and be less bulky. my dad just left the extenders he rigged up on his truck all the time and it really didn't look bad at all. the beauty of these mirrors is they give you the best view out the back due to the big head yet are relatively elegant in terms of mounting arms. they just look good on a daily driver type rig.

Re: Mirror Option
 

I bought a new set from TruckandCarShop for my '69 Chevy and they were listed as 67-72 mirrors part#67-01804 for $65.00 a set and the backing plates part#67-02005 are $7.00 each, I am happy with them. Here they are on my truckAttachment 553482

Re: Mirror Option
 

I always liked these style mirrors. I just don't know who makes them.
