Mirror? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

In the process of buying a 71 custom camper and want to take off the stock mirrors because for some reason they were ordered as painted and doesn't go well the rest of the truck has window trim, lower molding,chrome bumper. Does anyone know a good place to buy 5X7 SS mirror with the smaller brackets?

I have these 5.5 X 7.5 mirrors http://www.classicparts.com/1947-69-...ctinfo/58-204/
on these brackets http://www.classicparts.com/1967-69-...ctinfo/58-120/
They look good but they're pretty useless when you're up to speed.
I really like the smaller tri-pod below eye level mirrors but I don't think anyone makes a good quality version of them.

The small tri-pod mirror is the one I wanted too

They are cheap, but what more do you want for $20 a piece? I just put the mid-sized ones on my truck:

Thinking now of getting the smaller mirror heads, but we'll see...

Because field of view is too small or because they vibrate?
