Im looking to replace the big mirrors on my 86' c10.
Ive seen some that Ive heard were from a suburban that were smaller and black, looked more like the ones on newer cars.
Does anyone here have different mirrors on there truck than the stock ones?

There are tons of options in mirrors, but whatever you get, you'll likely end up with 3 bolt holes to fill from the factory mirrors.

Late 70's Camaros have some nice side mirrors. Or, if you want something a little larger, take a look at 92-96 F150 mirrors.

I used the mirrors from the 67-72 trucks. Just filled in my old holes when I repainted.

Don't care for the "sport" mirrors that came on 73-87s?

PS sorry bout size of image!

Thanks for the ideas guys,
Ive seen some mirrors on some suburbans like our trucks. Im not sure if it was only a certain year or what, do any of you know? They looked stock, all black and mounted right on the body.

From what I recall these were options on 88-91 burbs (power too). I had them on my '91 burb but what I didn't like is that they seemed to be mounted too far back--rather than glancing left and right to look out of the morrors it seemed I really had to turn my head and take my eyes off the road. I do like the way they look though.

WakBordr7387 · 01-26-2006, 01:26 AM

Does anyone know where I can find some of those mirrors? The only ones I can find for the suburbans are the big chrome or stainless ones like what Im trying to get rid of.
Id prefer new ones rather than used if possible.

Heres what i did!

I made the mount plate from 3/16 aluminum and mounted a set of beretta mirrors on them.

Army_Dude · 01-26-2006, 08:54 AM

Interesting concept 87 Stepper. So did you cover the whole vent window as a mounting plate? Can I get a pic from a lil farther back?

piecesparts · 01-26-2006, 11:31 AM

I am working on a conversion to take the standard (Dumbo ears) mount for the doors and put a set of Street Scene mirros on them. That way I have the 3 holes covered and I get rid of the large mirror on the door. I am using the same mirrors that is on the 88-98 Chevy trucks. The trick will be to make a mount that sets on top of the original post and cover so that id does not move, since the mirror does inside the housing.

No a close-up pic, but what you are wanting are factory power mirrors for the 90-91 Suburbans in Silverado Trim. Here they are on my '90 Burb:

piecesparts · 01-26-2006, 02:23 PM

Those are different, however the elephant ears are still there.

87 STEPPER · 01-26-2006, 04:10 PM

Army Dude,

The window is gone the whole thing is plate aluminum heres a head on shot and one showing the interior panel.

Theres other shots of the truck on my web page click on my 87 stepper in my sig. to see 'em.

piecesparts · 01-26-2006, 06:15 PM

I can't say that I would like that idea. The mirrors look good though.
