what mirrors - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm trying to figure out what mirrors would looks best with this truck since the owner bought some ford mirrors that will take a lot of modifications to fit and he's not a round any more his son owns it and he really doesn't care what mirrors are on it, the truck will be towing a trailer most of the time or load of junk on the flat bed

the guy wanted diamond plate trim, I don't think that would look very good, would also take a lot of time and work to look good so Its going to get repro trim

also think it looks like a dodge, and it's my least favorite head light setup, if it was mine it would have 73-78 setup and probably a 73 grille if I was able to find a good 73-80 clip for my truck when I doing body work it would also have it also a 73 grille

chrome dumbo... I would also switch the headlight over to 78 with chrome around the grille- it would make it look waaaay better.
