Well now, isn't that special, LOL Did not know GM used the same base for cars and trucks both, still learning after all these years. Thanks for the heads up. Wonder what years they shared for common usage? My '71 Chevelle mirror base is much thinner or narrow at the bottom portion. Maybe started with common use in '73 and on being as this has a 10-DMI-4 date code? Mast has a dimple instead of being rounded as this one is.


NOTE;
Mirror seems to be for car usage rather than the 73-87 square body trucks. Still a nice solid mirror if being 100% correct is not an issue for anyone that needs a " mirror ".
