NAPA has these exact mirrors available. The only difference is something with the mounting of the mirror to the arms. It’s really minor and fine if you’re not doing a restoration. Someone else will probably pipe in with the part number.

What exactly are you looking for? If It's only the glass, your local glass store may be able to help. What year is your truck? Are you sure your mirrors are original GM?

Well i would like to just replace the glass and rubber seal but the inside mounting plate is rusted away and only 2 screws are holding it together. Looks like i may aswell get new mirrors. Build sheet and glove box sticker show "camper mirrors" im assuming they are the original. And its a 71

Can you post a picture of the back side of the mirrors showing the rivets? What option code does the build sheet show? I ask because the "camper mirrors" have more extensive mounting brackets than yours.

Yes the mirrors are incorrect and are '73-ups, but the mirrors heads are our only concern here. Those took the same glass from '69 up through the '98 style. Yours are actually below eyeline mirrors, not camper mirrors, but both take the same glass. I have the camper/towing mirrors on my '95 Suburban that take the same glass and gasket. There were multiple aftermarket mirrors using that same standardized mirror size. Your options are plentiful

So the measurements i got are 16" hole to hole from the bottom arms and 10" from one bottom to the top hole. Replacements ive found are all 10" across the bottom.
