Re: west coast mirrors
almost, looking more for the bar that goes from top to bottom of window with mirror in middle. But thank you. Those look cool, but i dont want to drill holes in door, just use exsiting screw holes.

Re: west coast mirrors
this is my take on the mirrors that you can't look over, the ones that have the bar that bolts on top and bottom of the door, there were installed on most pickups and big truck for years, but they hide things that are beside you, i have seen many times that you pull up to a stop sign and look both directions and start to pull out and a vehicle is now in view. i would ask you to look real close at the kind... nitrosport _ 5 showed you in his pic. just for safety reasons
or at least a low mount of some kind...if you put the jr. west coast on, set a while at the intersection before pulling out....look many times both ways.... |

Re: west coast mirrors
We had a motor home with west coast mirrors for over ten years and I never had a problem with them, but like stated you have to drive like you have west coast mirrors.
It is a not a 67-72 Chevy truck, but here is a picture of my '77 beast with west coast mirrors. Also here is a picture of a truck I have saved from previous posts.

Re: west coast mirrors
The GMC shows the popular chrome aftermarket west coast mirrors. The Chevy shows the factory painted west coast mirrors.

Re: west coast mirrors
Yes,and sometimes referred to as Sr. West Coasts (or West Coast Srs). And the second picture Shyguy showed (Blue '68 C/20 Stepside) has the RV Jrs,sometimes referred to as Jr. West Coasts. These are the only factory mirrors of this type offered. The RV Jrs were from prior years and ran through '68. The West Coasts ran through the square body style and at least til the 2007s

Re: west coast mirrors
Well thanks guys for all the pics and posts. Its been awhile since I logged in, but I did find a set that are west coast jrs. Installed them and I love them. Truck is lifted 6 in and sits on 35s I can see everything from the sky to the ground. And with the addition of spot mirrors I can even see the rust on my doors to the people beside me... they even make a cool wistling noise in the wind, I know I'm driving an old truck. takes me back to the days I was a kid riding shotgun in my dads 64.
