ChevLoRay · 02-03-2008, 09:37 AM

I've got a pair, too. Wanna see 'em?

brad_man_72 · 02-03-2008, 09:41 AM

got em, look good, barely useable,worried about pulling trailer, no pics yet, would rather have chevelle mirrors.

Zumo · 02-03-2008, 09:45 AM

Yes very useless hahaha. And I too want chevelle or Camaro round mirrors. This one will do for now. I did have those huge trailer mirrors but they had to go.

When I originally replied to this post, I had hopes and dreams that my truck would be back on the road for the '08 Hot Rod Power Tour....

.....it wasn't and it still sucks that it ain't anywhere near roadable.

As to where to mount them, my first thought was on top of the door so they would hang down. To me, that's a better look and more in keeping with the Hot Rod look that my damaged brain want to emulate. Is this what you want to hear? I had thought about putting them at the front of the vent wings, clamped to the door, but I don't know if my mirrors are adjustable enough to accomodate that mounting.

**N2TRUX** · 02-03-2008, 09:42 AM

Useless as h3ll but they do look cool.

bad6772 · 02-03-2008, 09:44 AM

If it's a tow rig... then these are kick ass.

But man they are fugly!

Brad · 02-03-2008, 10:08 AM

I've had 'em on mine for years and got use to them after a few months. I just wish that someone made a rectangular shape peep that was chrome and not billet aluminum. I find that I only use about 2" of the whole 4" mirror. Also, I mainly use my side view mirrors to see the blind spot and have them pointed as such. I use my rear view mirror to see behind me 90% of the time.

With a new project coming down the line I may go with the same mirror that's on my '68 Camaro. The mirror has the same curve as the body line on these trucks. However, I have gotten used to, and prefer looking up at who's behind/beside me as opposed to down when they're mounted under the window, so we'll see...

Deuce · 02-03-2008, 10:24 AM

Peeps with a twist.

wibilly · 02-03-2008, 10:39 AM

Slammed70 · 02-03-2008, 10:48 AM

Premium72 · 02-07-2008, 12:18 PM

dieselarmy13 · 02-10-2008, 02:41 AM

Mooneyes has some pretty cool visors for the four inch round mirrors that I'mthinking of putting on mine.

**smitty62** · 02-10-2008, 03:27 AM

Move to North Carolina--you won't need 'em. NOBODY in NC looks in a mirror!

1968GMC · 02-10-2008, 09:24 AM
