I use the spot mirror off a Perterbuilt for my passenger side mirror. it is the same size as my driver mirror but has a convex lens. I had a spare one that I used but they can be purchased online at sites like the one below...

Hey will the ones for 70-72 fit a 69 c10 without modifications? I have the cheaper rectangular ones with the three hole and long hollow rod mounted with backplate and they vibrate too much. Not useful to see riders on the highway.

I have the original mounts and square head mirrors on my 70. they vibrate about the same as the aftermarket ones I had on another truck.They seem rt vibrate in either position.
