Mirror ID
I could use some help IDing this mirror. It is on my 68, but I believe it is actually the model for a later year truck. Unfortunately, I caught the drivers' side mirror with a column in a parking garage and broke it, so I need to figure out how to describe it and try to find a replacement.
Thanks. |

Re: Mirror ID
Also, what kind of backing plate do I need? I haven't taken off the door panel, but I it's pretty clear the screws pulled through the plate.
Lastly, is it possible just to replace just the head itself or is it necessary to replace the arm, too? Thanks! Last edited by burkeens; 04-14-2011 at 02:28 PM. |

Re: Mirror ID
That's a "Sport"-mirror that would be correct for '71 & '72 (maybe other years, I don't know).

Re: Mirror ID
There is a backing plate that is inside the door that should come with a replacement mirror. I believe the head is permanently attached to the base and must be replaced together.

Re: Mirror ID
Thanks. Do the aftermarket replacement mirrors line up precisely with the originals?
