Mirror question

Is this a factory mirror or aftermarket?

Re: Mirror question

Yes, that is a factory RETRAC mirror option. These were a more common option on GMC's. They are made out of aluminium and adjustable(lock in place). It is a very good and solid below eye line type that miniumizes blind spots. The yellow "CHEVRONS" painted on the back of all RETRAC's added to safety.

Re: Mirror question

Ok, thanks for the info. Original owner told me he got them because of the "break away" feature. But I neglected to ask him if it was a stock option.
