I got the same ones. They work great until about 45mph, then they shake so bad you can't see anything.

I will go with a 4" peep at some point.

bcanini · 01-13-2007, 12:27 PM

Here's mine

sport mirrors.

brak · 01-13-2007, 01:29 AM

i ain't got no mirrors...

although that wasn't my choice. i bought it this way

Brainchild · 01-13-2007, 01:35 AM

I am using the ones off my 75.The lowview tripod style stainless ones.You have to tweak them a little to get them to work,but they do work

lilpup69chevy · 01-13-2007, 02:16 AM

i'll have to take some pics of my new sport mirrors on my 68 tomorrow

Warren · 01-13-2007, 02:31 AM

no Mirrors either thats how it came, Owned by a cop who said you only need one facing back and the mirror in the interior was fine. Never been stopped.

Doesn't feel quite right to me and doesn't look quite right either. Want something small fine and crhome. It did come with the orginal mirrors that attached at the three points but with the few changes on the truck they are too large and clunky looking.

Go back through some of the other posts in the last few weeks on photos of trucks the calendar photos etc there are lots and lots of photos with many different mirrors on there.

bcanini · 01-13-2007, 12:33 PM

Here's another one. I can't find a good front view.

I am also using sport mirrors,They were(about to be again) on the swb 4x4

hawaiianblue72 · 01-13-2007, 01:04 PM

Got these from my local chevy dealer. OE

DANL · 01-13-2007, 01:10 PM

Does the passenger side sport mirror give you enough field of vision even though it is not convex?

bcanini · 01-13-2007, 01:40 PM

Kind of a pain to get it set just right but when it is you can see ok.

Brian

[ol'Blue] · 01-13-2007, 01:52 PM

what kind are those ^

Gray Ghost · 01-13-2007, 02:32 PM

I've got the sport mirrors too, but don't like them. I want the stalk/round mirrors that came on the truck originally. Maybe I should list a trade to someone who has those and doesn't like 'em.

The passenger sport mirror doesn't give much of a view where they are mounted on my truck.

**PICKMUP** · 01-13-2007, 02:40 PM

If you replace the wing window glass with Lexan (not plexiglass), you can easily run the 90s mirrors without even drilling any holes in the doors. They are bigger and better for towing, without all of the tubing arms.
Fords also fit without too much work and again no tubing.

dion · 01-13-2007, 03:10 PM

sport mirrors on mine as well

They are the kind that are usually mounted on the upper part of the door frame - just inverted them and swapped sides.
