Mirror thread
Its seems to be too broad of a search when I google search the board.
Is there a thread that goes over all the different styles of mirror? The ones that came on the truck, or ones you got from the dealer. Not talking about anything you got at the auto parts store, or came on a different brand of truck. Hit me with a link and Ill delete this thread ... Or maybe this can be the thread that has it all.

Re: Mirror thread
I'll start.
Standard or sport mirror I believe only on 71/72 trucks Not listed on spid because it was the base mirror |

Re: Mirror thread
Camper mirror
DF2 on the spid I believe this pic is also 72 only Due to the fact the 2 lower arms are rolled at the bottom And mount at the curved seam of the door |

Re: Mirror thread
The mirror heads and elbows in your picture in post 6 are not correct for our trucks. They appear to be from the square body era or later. All the trucks from our generation had an external mount for the elbow, the elbows had threaded studs and the studs utilized acorn nuts at both ends for attachment. The heads were like those in the picture below. The elbows were larger but had the same overall appearance. as those below.

Re: Mirror thread
The head and elbows on these are incorrect.

Re: Mirror thread
Thank you, I bought my '71 with add-on trailer mirrors and the rubber plugged holes where the sport mirror was and wasn't sure what was supposed to be there. When I had the doors apart I found the rusted and drilled out screw plate in the bottom of the doors so I knew they were removed later in life. I installed repop sport mirrors and stuck on a mirror size convex on the right side and they work fine for normal driving but I didn't know these were standard as the spid says nothing. Good thread guys, thanks!

Would you mind posting a picture of your right side mirror with the convex attached? I've considered doing something like that myself

Re: Mirror thread
So far Chevyland has shown:
* 71/72 standard mirrors everyone likes to call Sport mirrors that I always called car mirrors (standard 67-70s are what I call stick mirrors) * 72 style DG4s * 69-72 DF2 stainless camper mirrors (painted were DF1) * 67-72 DG5 Sr West Coasts Only painted offered * B38 bus-type extension mirrors. Those could be aftermarket but that's what the bus mirrors look like. I'm not sure about years they were offered. These I am most unfamiliar with. There were D29 RV Jrs in 67/68, which are the mini west coasts. They were only offered painted. There was a standard mirror dual rear 1t trucks that are sort of like the standard 67-70s, but way longer

Re: Mirror thread
Just for reference I'll throw in my chromed West Coast Seniors. Not stock to chrome them, nor cheap, but I like the look!

Re: Mirror thread
Here is a picture of my stainless West Coast Junior. I believe if they were ordered from the factory as the D29 option they would have been painted white.

Re: Mirror thread
Like specialk said it's not all straight forward
My first several posts were all 72's It seems like there isn't much discrepancy by the time 72 came around Here is another example of outfield/specialk quandary A 71 with DG4's listed as below eyeline The same mirror listed as D29 RV on outfields 69 |
