OK I'm confused, was this thread about trying to identify a bracket found in the door or about valve covers?

this thread is about whatever we want it to be about

how bout valve cover brackets that you find in your doors?

very possible, what mirrors should we replace them with? they are a little beaten up and one wont stay still, something is wrong with the ball-in-socket joint on the back where it pivots (looks like it had been JB Welded and has broken). Any suggestions?

yeah those mirrors are available as aftermarkets in many auto parts stores i see them in Pep Boys and all back in the day i remember those in many places i bought them for an 82 chevy van i had

those are pretty nice on there and thats the valve covers i want for my truck but of course on a SB ..in fact your engine is basically what i want mine to look like when all is said and done but im going for the classic round air cleaner as opposed to the triangular one

I have a 1981 Silverodo and while restoring the inside with the door panels off, I found the identical part laying at the bottom of my passenger door. I looked around inside the drivers door and couldnt see anything like it attached or just laying. I have no Idea what its for. I have the stock mirrors and am the second owner of the truck. According to the first owner, who bought the truck new, he has never done any work on it.

interesting... i havent noticed the nirrors moving/flexing so im not real worried about it. but then again it may not be from the mirrors that are on there currently. My granpa was probably changing them and he ropped that part in the bottom and just went "Meh...." and just listened to it sliding around in the bottom of the door for twenty plus years!

yeah, not a big fan on the triangular one. the round ones just seem to offset the whole appearance of an engine better IMO. i also like velocity stacks.

I REALLY like crossram intakes and dual carb setups. the small round air cleaners on dual quads and the oval ones on dual quads are SWEEEEET

This is a pic I took when I disassembled my door. That's where it goes and it takes that sheet metal screw from the inside of the door. Mirror stiffener.

chev74 · 12-05-2007, 11:30 AM

thanks! just gotta see if it fits the mirror thats on there now or if its obsolete

**old Rusty C10** · 12-05-2007, 12:22 PM

they have a tubular one that sets in there for the white or chrome sport mirrors.. its suppoused to stabilize the mirror at like high speeds when the wind causes the mirror to like vibrate and the image isnt so clear
