Looking for '72 mirror - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looking for the smaller standard style, not the big 3 point truck mirrors. I'm missing 1 (passenger side).

Problem is the original ones are wrapped with a rubber trim piece, and all the ones in the catalog's and swap meets don't have that. See the pic in my Webshots folder:

(I hope one of the above works!)

The second link works but the first one doesn't.

I have never seen an original mirror wrapped like the one in the pic. Even the sales brochures don't show that feature.

Is the wrap an option of sorts for off roading?

That's the original mirror. The Blazer's been in my family since new, and has never been 'molested', so I know that's what it came with.?.?

I have a used one if that is what your looking for. I just restored my 72 and they were good but I wanted new.

Sorry, mine doesn't have the rubber trim piece

I've never seen them like that either. Interesting to know they make different styles. My 72 K5 has the small tri-pod mirrors. I have only seen a couple others with the exact same mirror.
