I believe the problem is you are looking at non original vehicles. I too have seen many varations, but these were altered by the owners or dealers trying to please a finicky customer. I stand by all may statements. As to junior west coast 6x11 mirrors, they were always painted white on 60-66 pickups,(just like in the photos of the white and blue pickups above) never stainless and agian I would like to see any documention you say you have. Many aftermarket mirrors were added during this era and may be part your confusion. The 66 Chevy van and 67 Chevy pickups did have stainless 6x11 mirrors and brackets swing lock type ( different mounting arm brackets ), but never 60-66 pickups.These agian would be a later add on if seen on a 60-66 pickup. I would also add, these comments do not apply to GMC pickups, GMC pickups had different paint schemes and mirror options and can be addressed in a later thread.I offer all this information in this thread for the few who are interested in a period correct authentic factory restoration.
