CA 72' Jimmy Rear View Mirror and Frame Horn Cuts

Looking for OEM mirror for my 72' Jimmy —driver quality to NOS okay. Note this mirror mounts on a bracket--it does not glue to the windshield. Also need last foot or so of both sides of rear frame--the penultimate PO had cut the rear to install a step bumper and am missing the frame horns. Thanks in advance. Martin

Interestingly the rear view mirrors were moved from the header to the windshield for the 72 model year. I had a 72 K10 where a PO mounted an earlier style mirror to the header. If you want the correct mirror for 72 it's going to be the glue on style affixed to the windshield.

I've got a used oem 72 mirror. Glass is decent. Think it has one fuzzy spot going off memory. I can pics and a price tonight.

Thanks for the good info Pete— I had assumed my mount was correct—due in part to some conflicting erroneous prior posts. I love learning about these rigs!!!

You bet. If you notice the header above the wnidshield is smooth. It you looked at a 71, there would be a boss in the header where the mirror attaches. The mirror is yet another year specific detail for 1972 trucks.

Might be easier to find rear frame horns from a burb

And easier yet to mount the bumper like the earlier blazers with sport bumper brackets. With that style mounting not sure if 72 splash shields mount up the same.
