I have a 1970 chevy k20 and i need some ideas. Post some pictures on what you have.

**Ironhorse** · 12-28-2013, 09:14 AM

Not the best pic but you get the idea. '71 K10 long bed with stainless camper swing out mirrors.

RANDY COX · 01-02-2014, 08:41 PM

I'm running west coast style..

heartsick · 01-02-2014, 09:12 PM

good old camper/tow mirrors no invisi trailer though

**Yukon Jack** · 01-03-2014, 10:38 AM

As I pull a trailer every once in a while I went with large tripod style mirrors. Makes a tight fit backing into my barn with it's narrow door.

1970/327/c10 · 01-03-2014, 10:42 AM

randy cox, I've been half tempted to do those mirrors. always thought they were cool

Robin · 01-03-2014, 05:00 PM

I got these from LMC, the PO had small round mirrors but they just didn't fit the long bed CK20 look to me. I have a set of chrome camper mirrors like Yukon Jack but will wait till I get a slide on camper to use them.

1970/327/c10 · 01-03-2014, 05:04 PM

does your emblem say c20?

Robin · 01-04-2014, 08:46 AM

Yes, C/20, with a little 4 wheel drive emblem below. The truck was an original 2 wd automatic and now it's on a 69 4wd frame with a 4 speed and 77 rears with disc brakes up front, got rid of the drums up front and closed knuckles.

1970/327/c10 · 01-04-2014, 09:16 AM

wandered about that mines the same way but has c10 emblems

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-09-2014, 09:53 PM

I have below eye line mirrors and really like them. Still a big mirror head but no long bars going down the door.

Mr Chevorlet · 01-16-2014, 02:42 PM

Here is mine.

70custom20 · 01-18-2014, 01:24 PM

Here's a shot of mine. These mirrors are what came from the factory for the '69-'70 trucks. The ones that diesel wrencher posted with the shorter arms are for the '71-'72 trucks.

ryanroo · 01-18-2014, 04:59 PM

I have the ones like Mr. Wrencher. I agree with his thoughts on them as well. plenty of mirror without being to much

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-19-2014, 11:21 AM

70custom20, that is a nice truck and nice to see it doing work!

Billhilly · 01-19-2014, 03:14 PM

Ditto! Nice truck, love the blue!

70custom20 · 01-22-2014, 01:19 PM

Thanks for the compliments. The truck is a 69, even though my screen name doesn't say it. (Long story) the truck is your basic 454, sm465, 4.10's. I do use it from time to time as a tow rig for the trailer. I don't use it as much as I'd like to, but it's a night and day difference towing with an '06 F-350 PSD

I have plans to update some things on the truck so it I won't mind towing with it more often, hopefully I can execute those plans someday soon.

dougo · 01-23-2014, 11:42 AM

Here's what I'm running... Not the best pic to see the mirror, but its from a different angle and looks to be same style as Dieselwrencher's mirrors. I tow... So this style works well for my needs.

70custom20 · 01-23-2014, 10:39 PM

That burb is without a doubt, F'n cool. Love the steelies and dogdish hubcaps. Southern California is definitely kind to old iron.

Thanks, guys... I really appreciate the compliments. Dieselwrencher... Same goes to you -- sweet rig!

1970/327/c10 · 01-31-2014, 01:01 AM

Loving the pictures. Dieselwrencher, that the kind of mirror that im looking into but still cant make up my mind. Either yours or the long armed mirrors because i already have the holes.

elpound · 03-22-2014, 11:22 PM

Here are mine. Not sure if original or not.
