Thoughts on RV Junior mirrors: What is correct and do they work well?

[weim55]

I’ve had my ‘65 SWB fleetside for well over 30 years and it’s my favorite vehicle in the old car fleet. I still use it as a runaround vehicle and light hauler anytime the weather permits. She still has the original stick mirrors with large rectangle heads. I have never particularly liked these mirrors as they tend to vibrate sometimes and the visibility isn’t that great. As my eyes are getting older, it’s becoming more and more bothersome. I was thinking about putting some factory RV Junior (I’m not even sure that’s the correct term?) They have much larger heads plus I could bolt small spot mirrors below the mirror heads for even better visibility.

Questions for you all: I donÂ’t want to go through all the trouble obtaining and drilling holes in the doors to mount these mirrors only to find no real improvement. Those of you that IÂ’ve had these mirrors: are they effective and do you like them? I attached a picture of what I believe are the correct factory items, are these the correct mirrors I should be looking for? Do these mirrors come in both painted and stainless versions from GM? Were these ever a factory installed mirror or only dealer install?
