Second set is the nicest. It is a boxed set of sport mirrors with NOS gaskets and NOS backing plates. Has installation instructions. Asking 425 with free shipping.

VA72C10 · 08-14-2011, 10:49 PM

250 set (actually has matching date code but they have the slight pitting (can't get it to show in pictures but you can see it in person and slightly feel it) Will come with box for one mirror but not the other. Will throw in some used factory gaskets for $10

350 set nice with gaskets. (not matching date codes on glass)

Can you explain the date codes to me? What would be an example of matching date codes?

The closeup picture with the 1-DCA-7 in the glass (both will have the same number) It says when they were manufactured. Only a real worry for someone looking to get a proper date code set of mirrors for a 100% concours restoration of their truck...I just wanted to note it so that the buyer would be aware.

So how does that 1-DCA-7 decode?

From what I've been told and read it's month, mfr then last digit of yr so these would be January of 1977 when they were produced.

Jonathan,
How bad is set number one, can't really tell what your talking about with the pictures.

You can feel the pits if you rub your fingers over them and see them if you look closely but they are small. I will try my wife's camera in different light to see if I can get them to show up in a picture.

47thriftmaster · 08-17-2011, 09:50 AM

sounds good, will wait to see if it works

litew8 · 08-17-2011, 02:28 PM

maybe try inverting the image to bring out the surface texture

VA72C10 · 08-17-2011, 09:46 PM

I used chrome polish and they are better than I thought but still some small minor pits...I think you can see them in this picture where my fingers are reflected

You can see them here as well...but they are very nice overall...

Sold the set with matching numbers locally. Still have the other two sets for sale. equal conditon...just the one set comes with NOS gaskets, backing plates, and instructions.

litew8 · 08-23-2011, 03:18 PM

Inverting the images worked. For the non-matching set left, what's on the right mirror?

The sets I have remaining don't have any defects that I can see.

litew8 · 08-23-2011, 05:33 PM

post #6, are those the ones left available? If yes, the bottom pic, back side of the mirror on the right.

VA72C10 · 08-23-2011, 05:41 PM

Must just be fingerprints. There is no damage.
