79Betty · 09-29-2013, 07:49 PM

Guy's and gals i'm looking to try and find some west coast mirrors like on the c60's... But it's not working out. Does anyone reproduce these mirrors? And does anyone with them know where to mount them? I have no problems mounting them but i want a factory location... Thanks in advance y'all.
I even included a picture so all know lol

They were available from '73-'80 if not all the way to '91 on pickups. I would look around wrecking yards, forum classifieds, craigslist, ebay.

I would suggest a local wrecking yard, then you might be able to get all of the exact measurements for the mounting holes.

83GMCK2500 · 09-29-2013, 10:41 PM

Here you are, all the way to '91...

I work part-time at a wrecking yard...I will keep my eyes open. They did have a 75-77 GMC 6500 the might've had most of the mirrors there, but it was crushed over a year ago. I try to pull complete "more difficult to find" items and set them aside or in another vehicle.

79Betty · 09-30-2013, 03:05 PM

I've bee looking but more eyes will always help. Wy it looks the farthest left bolt goes "in line" with the bar for the wing window and big window channel?

I will keep a lookout at the local pick and pull. I saw a 75 stepper which I think had those mirrors.

79Betty · 09-30-2013, 10:23 PM

Those are the "JR" and i'm wanting the "SR" i searched on here some threads and those are real popular on the 67-72's also nobody over there liked the jcwhitney ones.

79Betty · 10-01-2013, 03:04 PM

I searches amazon and only got corvette parts...? Not sure how that worked out... Found a set on ebay but they don't look... Right at all. Found a helluvalot of ford's

If you want exact OEM style mirrors you will likely have to get them used. The ones on Ebay look nice to me (especially lighted and heated ones) but they are not stock.

tucsonjwt · 10-01-2013, 03:40 PM

If you must have the OEM GM part, check these vendors - enter p/n 14016682 and search all vendors:

79Betty · 10-01-2013, 06:08 PM

It's not the mirror itself that's then problem it's the entire bracketry that i need to work with.

Update! Thanks to Jerry Johnson's truck sales in norris city, IL i now have 2 useable complete doors! One rougjer than the other but it's... Workable. Both are dent free so a plus and mostly solid. Chrome or white mirrors is the hard part now lol

White for winter and chrome for summer!!

79Betty · 11-03-2013, 10:36 PM

I have a black grill n chrome bezels... No bowtie yet... Would like chrome but am wondering how i'll tie my bumpers in with it since they'll be homemade.

BONUSCAB · 11-03-2013, 11:29 PM

Just go to Napa and Build-a-bear yourself a set of mirrors. They should have a cataloge of mirror parts you can go through and pick what you need to make a pair of mirrors.

83GMCK2500 · 11-04-2013, 12:09 PM

79Betty, found a set of chrome west coast style mirrors on a square bodied Topkick/Kodiak at a local yard. The passenger side is missing the mirror head but all the bracketry is there, these are a nice stout set, I can get a pic later this week if you're interested.

EDIT: I said chrome, but they might be stainless.

79Betty · 11-04-2013, 01:33 PM

All is well. I have a set with doors now. Only problem is the doors have a H.U.G.E gap to the cab. Any idea's how to close it up?
