Do you know if the style on the yellow truck (with the slightly different tripod brackets) above are considered "DG4" below the eye line, or another code/name?

If you are asking for my opinion, judging by the pic I would say that the mirror on the yellow truck is not an original DG4. It looks aftermarket as do the mirrors that Cash posted above, look at the differences in the tubular mounts and the lack of threaded studs/accorn nuts. The mirror pictured on Tim's old blue/white highlander look like the OE DG4's, the DG4 mirrors were real common on the highlanders. Mel

Mel,
Again you school me on something... Thank you for pointing it out, I also noticed the upper mount brace is tubular not flat. I apologize to you (itwillbeslow).

thanks for sharing. Yep, metal is thinner, flat support on top, mirror heads are different, and mirror arm end is flat rather than round with a stud in the end to mount mirror head.

The mirrors with wider spread lower supports are '73+ style (aftermarket or OEM)

Yep, those were '72 OEM DG4s. The truck still had original paint, but it originally had the DF2s. The DG4s came off a pair of '72 Cheyenne Super doors I've had stashed since '84.
