'69 GMC resuscitation

That color is growing on me! Hope the trip over the pass was uneventful...

FWIW keep an eye on the parts board for stock replacement mirror arms, but be aware that there was an earlier version that look very similar, but have a slightly different hole pattern.

There is also reproduction arms available, i ran across this place tonight for the first time, they only show LH black and stainless so i'm sure the RH is available somewhere.

thanks as always for the attention/help.
The trip over the pass was smooth. Only two issues were finding out that my trailer brake control wire was messed up on my rig as I was hitching up to the trailer as I was getting ready for the empty run and then the last mile of hauling the GMC to the mechanic had me amid some crazies on Aurora/99 in N.Seattle.

And thanks on the mirrors. I was just looking at Wes' site (classiheartbeat) and saw that he has several styles to choose from. But he has no photos to give me a sense of what mounting pattern they use. I would really like to stay to existing holes--which the truck has many of. Wes has what he lists as 5" x 7" tripod mount that I think is what my target is. But I would like to know all my options before I spend any $$.

I am also shopping for a new antenna (mast is broken off) and a cigarette lighter (never had one). If you have any input there.
I did find a salvage spare tire bracket (underbed mounting style) but couldn't salvage the bolts. So I start legwork on them tomorrow while I go to fetch the new radiator.
