Thanks for posting that info! I've seen that DB logo on several mirrors and always wondered what it stood for.

Those look pretty similar to the mirrors on Dad's 66. They came from JC Whitney about 20 some years ago and were used to replace a similar looking (but rusty) set that someone else had already put on the truck.
Dad picked up a 65 parts truck a while back with a set of the OE white West Coast Jr's like others have posted here. We plan to re-paint them and eventually swap them onto his 66. That's going to be a bit of a project though since I'll have to weld up the holes from those aftermarket mirrors and re-paint the doors.
