[Ironhorse]

I have a set of those same style mirrors on my '71 4x4. When the truck was repainted the "L" shaped arms were nasty against the new paint. I bought a pair of solid stainless steel arms from a local truck accessories shop. Solid, not hollow tube, uses external threaded stud instead of the internal thread and acorn nut. $18.00 at the time, made by Delbar Products, Inc. Perkasie, Pa. 18944 zip PN # 620C-11 Maybe worth looking into, hope that helps.
