JRBECK64...use the mirrors that best fit your needs and your application. The end result is you need to be happy with the direction that you go.

70cst,
My responce was tounge and cheek from my standpoint because if my Son didn't like them I would have not put them on. Im just messing with those that are messing with me. Nothing Serious here.

68Stepbed,
Is the rest of the truck a F___ or are the mirrors scabbed onto a Chevy.

Ok thanks for the clarification. I am glad all is cool. Sometimes I have a hard time determing if one gets upset and I just want to be sure all is well. Thanks again.

The rest of the truck is a F@%#.

Don't make me post pictures.

Stock72c10 · 08-04-2010, 11:40 AM

Here are mine. Kind of like chislers but with the center mount mirrors.

PLANETGETLOW · 08-04-2010, 12:15 PM

Where can you get the little round mirrors that mount up on the window pillar?

I must admit to using Ford mirrors also. They are 73-79 brackets with late 80's-early 90's mirror heads. They give a good view when towing and don't look out of place with the body style. If it helps, the Ford was parted out and other than making a trailer the mirrors are all that survived the crusher. (I need some photos that aren't 2 1/2 years old.)

RemingtonSteel · 08-05-2010, 11:08 PM

heres mine didnt see any like them

AirSpeed · 08-06-2010, 12:02 AM

I think the stock mirrors like 68stebed's truck has are the nicest out of all the stock mirrors on the 67/72 trucks, I have them on my 69 and I wish I would have gone with them on my 72 instead of the stock 72 mirrors. They just look clean.

I agree, I am putting those on mine. Only painted arms instead of stainless.

Slick67 · 08-06-2010, 10:48 PM

Peeps. They look cool, but the passenger side is useless, installed it anyway.

To take a little heat off JRBECK64, it was my sacrilege installing those mirrors. I still think they worked pretty well for the application (much better than a LOT of mirrors I've seen). For the record, my preference is now 71-72 sport mirrors.

cadillacart · 08-08-2010, 08:52 PM

I forget what year these are off of (67?). They shake like a MF'r when driving though. I haven't seen any "RV" type mirrors (with the brackets that go from the bottom of the glass to the top of the door. I like those alot and will probably switch to those soon.

Here's what it had originally. No wonder why they called it a custom camper. It was because you could make a tent out of the mirrors!

And the Shakers!

I agree, is that something you can get thru any of the usual vendors who sell re-pop parts? Do used ones ever show up or they all worn out and no good?

You can get them at Classic Parts or LMC, Classic Parts is cheaper, they're cheaper on most items. Both of them have chrome and paintable models.

Frizzle Fry,
Thanks for throwing yourself on the sword but Im like you in that I think they look pretty good on the truck. Looking at those pictures of the truck Short Narrow and how it looks now Long Fleet is crazy.

Peep too!

jackyl9999 · 08-14-2010, 04:34 PM

I used stock mirrors, but I cut 3 inches out of each side and welded them back together. I did not like the original look.

That's a great idea! Can you still see out of them? I may try that myself, maybe even a little shorter if they would still be useable?
Nice job!
