Mirror mirror on the door.......

Got a dilemma:
1972 K-10 LB Custom
Small mirror vs. Large 3 point mount towing bad boy mirrors?

Truck had std. mirror (factory)

I like the versatility and manlyness of the big mirrors......Not sure on the look though. Part of me wants the ever popular rectangle little ones, but wondering if they are useful. I will be towing stuff from time to time (workin truck), so any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Mirror mirror on the door.......

K-10 + towing= 3 point mirror
The factory 3 point mirrors on these trucks look nice and are very good for the times you are towing.
The small ones are called sport mirrors...sporty but not so great for towing

I think the larger mirrors look pretty cool, myself, & they will definitely be more functional.

These worked great for me ,I believe there is a much larger version also that has lower mounts below the side trim.

My camper is 7'6" wide and these mirrors do the job.

These look great! Are these OEM correct or for later models?
