"Below Eyeline Mirrors" were a factory option.

The "larger" three point mirrors are actually called RV Juniors from '69 - '72.

RV mirrors are the four point ones that can fold in.



There should be an option code on the SPID for them (this is from my '69, but they didn't change)

What did the "Below Eyeline Mirrors" Look Like? Are they the 3 point shown in the top picture?

Here is a pic out of the assy manual....just a note they came with the short,med and long length arms and in stainless or painted white, and on the mirror heads the mounting tabs are off center on some.
