Old mirrors,what year are they?(PIC.) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BobbyK · 05-28-2002, 01:15 PM

Picked these up at a junk yard.They weren't on a truck,found them in a bin at the yard.Got them for $10.00
What year truck are they from.

barn9 · 05-28-2002, 01:23 PM

My guess would be 67 - 68, but I'm not positive.

Baradium · 05-28-2002, 01:26 PM

60-68, maybe earlier. Check to see if the holes are the same as a later model, I know for sure the 60-66 has a slightly different bolt pattern, not sure about 67-68.

*67Fleetsidedream* · 05-28-2002, 01:35 PM

Those are from a 67-68. I bought some after market ones for my truck. I looked all over the place around where I live and could not find any of those OEM mirrors. Good find.

I think they are for 70 and older. Wanna sell them?

Longhorn Man · 05-28-2002, 02:06 PM

Early '70, and older. My first Longhorn had them on and they were original.

RodC · 05-28-2002, 02:20 PM

Great find, I have been looking at getting a pair of those but chromed. Could you please measure the mounting plates of those.

I want to replace the square jobs on my 71 and I want to make sure the plates will cover up the old screw holes before I buy them.

Also the distance between the two screw holes that are farthest apart would be great.

Baradium · 05-28-2002, 02:32 PM

Back home I have a set of chrome arms of that style, but they have the square heads. They are for the 60-6? mounting pattern, but would work if you don't mind drilling some holes. I know they definately don't work after the '70 change.

thood · 05-28-2002, 05:32 PM

I have the same mount patern on my 70chev. and they are factory doors. I replaced them with chrome ones that I found (cant rember who from I will go find out) they were realy realy nice and not very expensive!!!! and I as a rule don't like aftermarket parts.

68ChevC10 · 05-28-2002, 06:43 PM

Those look like the ones on my 68. I hated the discs, but love the colored arms. You can buy a larger mirror to go in place of the discs while keeping the stock arms.

(Pay no attention to the rust in the photo! It's not there. Nothing to see there!

BobbyK · 05-28-2002, 08:14 PM

I might swap them onto my 71 too,I haven't made up my mind though.
Here are 2 pic's of the mounting plate of the mirror.
this one's 3"5/8ths

this one's 2"1/8th

72futuresweet2wd · 05-28-2002, 08:20 PM

My 69 has those mirrors but I haven't seen them on 70 trucks so my guess is 67-69. But that is just a guess.

**68SWB4x4** · 05-28-2002, 08:30 PM

my 70 had them stock

barn9 · 05-28-2002, 08:31 PM

RodC, these are available in chrome, but I don't recall where I saw them. Paul or Wes might have them. I saw them when looking for mirrors on the web at a couple different places, so I know they're out there. Good luck!

dross · 05-28-2002, 08:50 PM

Our 70 has those mirrors on it. Can't tell you if it's supose to or not.

Longhorn Man · 05-28-2002, 09:28 PM

My old 70 CST/20 Longhorn had them stock.

BADA$$69 · 05-28-2002, 09:49 PM

My 69 had them stock also. I had to drill the screws out of them to get'em off. I did't think they were worth anything and threw them away.

BLACK AND BLUE 67-72 · 05-28-2002, 09:51 PM

They started in 1960 and went to 1970, You could get them in Chrome or black , Round or Rectangular heads!!

RodC · 05-28-2002, 09:59 PM

Thanks for the measurements. Unfortunatly they mount below the top lip on the door. The small sport mirrors like I have mount in the small space above the bend in the door, between it and the mirror.

Thanks guys.......
