Mirrors for a '71 K20 Cheyenne
Two weeks ago I ripped the OEM mirror off the drivers door. The Aspen tree caught me off guard with an upper cut from one of its limbs. So, I bought a cheap after market mirror (POS) to get home. I can get another OEM mirror, but they are really small (Most of the time I have a shell on). I would like to put on a set of retractable mirrors on. I had some great ones on my Large size Broncos. I bought an after market (similar to what was on my Bronco), but it doesn't fit. The top contour is one problem and the trim is another. Besides, to get the mirror to level out on the '71 door, I need to cut off about 2" on the lower arm. The third problem,is the size of the hole under the OEM mirror. I'm not a fan of Bondo.
There have been other mirrors on her before, you can see the bondo fill in. The old style California mirrors don't swing away and neither do the 3 or 4 pt mirrors. I'm affaid they would lose to the next Aspen too.
Suggestions?
