Custom Mirror Info Please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Prathbun · 01-28-2008, 02:28 AM

I'm building a rusty rat rod kinda 67 and I'm looking for those mirrors that hang from the top of the doors. I can't seem to find any examples. Could someone please post a picture or link for me? Are there different types? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Again, this is definitely not a show truck but I thought replacing the 18 wheeler mirrors might look cool.

Thanks for the help!!!!

Pick up a copy of Street Rodder, Rod & Custom or most any street rod magazine. Most all the vendors have them.

I've got them on my RH door...totally buttt useless IMHO.

You can find them at the swapmeets for cheap but go to a board vendor for nice ones. Or check out a ratrod forum for other ideas.

My grandson has them on his '67 C-10 and all they are good for is looks, at least that is what he told me.

I guess his truck is a ratrod. It is flat black and goes like heck with the modified 350.

I have them on the burb,.. the passenger side one is all but useless, the drivers one is a little better, but not much.

Dont get the 3". If you do buy any, get one 4" for the drivers door only...

I agree !! I have 3'' ones on my truck . Look good ,but pretty much worthless.

I have em on my 56 and they are worthless but they do look cool..

for the rat rod look , got to your local bike ( harley or sumthing like that ) shop and ask if they have any old ones and bolt it to the truck door

i got a pair of peep mirrors for x-mas, i got the ones from lmc, i guess their the cheap ones where the stem attaches to the mounting bracket wont stay tight, so it won stay adjusted. pass side wont adjust to see anything remotely close to behind the truck, and i assumed that with such a small mirror they would put curved glass like new mirrors so you could see a thing or 2 at a glance.
if i were to get diff mirrors, id get the round camaro or chevelle mirrors, factorl look but def more sporty.
