PARTS NO LONGER AVAILABLE SINCE POINTED OUT NOT A MATCHING CORRECT SET FOR A COMPLETE MIRROR

Just have the one mirror but is complete set up. Believe it is correct for 69 & 70, maybe 71? 72 has shorter legs I know. Complete refresh with glass bead, prime and paint. Glass is good with some minor specs, believe it is a replacement as no date code. Rubber seal has a gap at bottom, mirror edges have some crimp marks. Good threads on elbow, cap nuts have a bit of pitting. Have your choice of using plated washers or white painted washers with the nylon spacers. Set is nice driver quality, not for show but will show nicely on your truck. Have not re-assembled since repaint to prevent paint scratches. $35 plus shipping, money order, do not have Paypal.

Forgot to place the white painted washers in grouping for pic but do have them if wanted.

69-71

Last week or so someone posted dimensions of 69-71 below eyeline mirrors, maybe mike
Cofield?
Your lower arms look like 69-71
The upper arm is 72

Am I understanding you both saying this is a mis-matched mirror set or is it still able to be used as a mirror set for 69-71 trucks? Not wanting to lead any one astray here, still things about these trucks to learn.

I think you have mirror parts.
Acorn nuts look original
Elbow looks original because of the threaded studs and essentially length even on each end
Arms look original due to “pointed” end stampings, lower arms are long like 69-71 and upper arm is straight like 72, 69-71 would have a 90 degree bend.
Mirror head looks original based on center mount location and crisp stamping line.

Thanks for the reply and the info Randy. Still learning the bits and pieces of parts thru the years. Not sure how to close the ad thread as do not want to lead anyone down the wrong path with mis-matched parts.

Guess will put a disclaimer edit for the thread at the start that parts are no longer available due to being mis-matched.

I do believe at the top under thread tools you can delete it
