Its all about the functionality. I can't see chit in those peep mirrors, and I'm not a fan of the chevy tow/camper mirrors.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4

Thanks. There are some great looking 4x4s in this thread. I think the silver off white with the red interior is a great combo.

Here is a little more info.
The truck was bought new at Shellabarger Chevrolet in Casper.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4

Hey guys, love all the 4x4's...I'm currently working on a 72 k10 myself. I've got a thread about it if you'd like to check it out. I'd appreciate any comments or thoughts you'd have. Thanks

Just secured this 72 K10 from a family member. Unsure if I will keep it or not. But, it does get alot of looks driving around town.
