Image-Correct inside mirror 69 CST20? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Would’ve thought by ‘69 Inside rearview mirror would be standard on Chevy trucks? I guess not, All of the interior paint on my 69 is original and the area above the windshield has never been drilled, never been a mirror there. Could one of you post a picture of the correct mirror? Not sure it would make a difference, My truck is a CST20, Are the mirrors different between a base model and top of the line interior?

The inside rear view mirror was an option on early 1969 trucks. It was option code D36.

See this SPID from a 1968 for example:

and from an early 1969:

What the early bracket looked like:

Mid year 1969 used the bracket with the grained vinyl cover and stainless steel backed day/night mirror that was also used in 1970 and 1971.

1970CST - thank you for the information! The early 69 mirror mount that you posted looks very similar to the one on my 65 where it screws to the windshield header but different where the mirror mounts to the post. Makes me wonder if that is a one or two year only mirror mount? That was certainly Help in my search…..
