Need some MIRROR options - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

5150 · 02-17-2006, 05:14 PM

Hey guys a while back I was trying to figure out which mirrors would look good on my truck. I bought a set of 73 sport mirrors. I don't mind them they look pretty good. My problem is that the holes originally drilled are on the first lip from the window which means the 71-72 sport mirrors base is to big to sit on it.

I think Mudder had the same problem with his but said the 71-72 mirrors didn't look that bad on that spot. Just wondering what other mirrors (that DON'T have to be painted) will work. I don't care for the Miata and the F-150 ones are way to big.

In fact if I could get away with covering the holes up with something and doing away with mirrors all together that would be awesome.

This link will explain the problem:

What's wrong with these?

Maybe you could use that arm with a different head?

-OR-

You could cover the holes with Suburban upper trim that goes over that spot and wraps around the back. I've never seen that done on a truck, but it looks like you're going for the no-trim look...

I think those look good too.

The passenger side keeps spinning around and I can't get it to stay still. I'm freaked out by it because it's real close to my door. The passenger side keeps slipping down like it's just old. If I could fix them I would or knew how to revive them.

some of the 70's chevy and dodge vans have mirrors similiar to the sport mirrors. It worked for me.
