Need help to ID mirrors

Hello. I recently picked these mirrors up at the local swap meet.

Are they considered West Coast mirrors? If not, can you tell me if they were an option on these Chevy pickups? Or maybe a dealer accessory option?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks Vinnie

Re: Need help to ID mirrors

There are most likely a quality aftermarket mirror. The senior west coast mirrors on these trucks didn't have that cam type pivot and the mirror heads had a rounded bubble/bulge on the backside. They could be an application for 67-72s. You'd have to assemble and hold up to the door to know

I appreciate it.

I’m away from the mirrors right now, but I found a picture of a set online that look like the set I have. I still couldn’t eyeball it and tell if they’d fit a Chevy pickup.

I can be wrong but they look like motorhome mirrors to me

The last set of pictures was from a listing on OfferUp.

The guy selling them said they were from a 1985 Chevy dump truck. Whatever that looks like.

Re: Need help to ID mirrors

Heres two photos one a 69/70 and the other a 85 you can see the mirrors you have do look like the ones on the 85. Notice on the 69/70 the mirrors are shaped like Special-K said, they are rounded in the center. Hope this helps.

Yes I see that. Thank you sir! I probably wouldn’t have found that on my own.
