Shakey Mirrors/Bumper Angle

[Jimjific]

Hello,

I'm somewhat new to the C-10 thing so I've got two questions.

1. I've got a 69 step side and it has the standard square looking mirrors with just the single tube arm and they shake terribly when I go over 20mph. They are not lose and are tight to move for adjustments. It just seems like the arm is to weak. Is there a fix to this? Or should I just get a set of 70-72 mirrors.

2. Hopefully the picture will show this. My rear bumper has an angle to it the causes the sides to point downward. It is a new bumper and new bumper brackets installed by the previous owner. I gave it a quick look and didn't see anything that looked like it would allow for adjustment. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there a way to correct it?



Thanks,
Jim

You can try getting stainless steel mirror arms, the metal is denser and may stop them from vibrating so badly.
Out of curiosity are there rubber gaskets installed between the door and mirror arm base?
I think he installed the bumper brackets upside down which is a consequence of having them on the wrong side, just switch them around, left to the right and right to the left.

The camper mirrors on my 70 C-10 vibrate too.

They have a piece of a rubber inner tube between the brackets and the door
. . . but still have the problem.

I just use the spot mirrors, which don't vibrate at all !!!
