Rear View Mirror for a '69

Ok, I'm a little freaked out by the new look of the board, but I'll get over it.

Does anyone have a picture of an original equipment interior rear-view mirror for a '69 GMC?

I found one at the wrecker that has a rounded, colour-keyed rubber cover over the mounting screws. Sorry, no pic yet. I just wanted to make sure that it was the right one before I start drilling.

'05 Sierra 4x4 - Had 270,000 KM and running well when it was written-off by a stop sign runner.
'94 F-150 from the "F word" company. I'll admit it...good truck. Sold what was left of it for $800 to a guy who came to pick it up at 11:00 PM with cash in hand. Hmm.
'79 Sierra Grande (Black) organ donor - perfect rebuildable 4-bolt 350 and a good TH350.
'76 Sierra Grande (Orange) - hate isn't too strong a word. Kid who bought it turned it into a hot rod.
'68 C-10 R.I.P. - Dad's old truck...too far gone to resurrect.
'59 C-50 - with hoist. Truck is gone, wife isn't. Nuff said.

Bluec10,

That's the type of mirror on my 69 Chevy C10. It should match the visors.

Isnt there holes already there? I thought all trucks came with rear view mirrors?

Thanks for the pics, Gee_Emm, but I couldn't quite see the mirror.

From what I can tell, the mirror was not a standard feature. I'm not sure if you had to order it separately, or if it was part of an interior package.

What I find interesting is that my 68 has little dimples where the screws for the mirror are supposed to go, but my 69 doesn't have any marks at all.
