Re: 1968 Side Mirrors, what original styles were available?

Thought to follow up in this thread.
Since I figured the chances of finding the factory ("fly swatter" mirror) brackets to mount up to the existing holes in my truck, I decided to make my own. I sacrificed a set of sport mirror brackets, made my own bases with 1/2" steel, bent and welded, then welded the sport arms to the bases. It's not "factory", but I wasn't about to drill more holes in the doors
