ok guys and ladys dose ever one have on there trucks trying too figer out what mirrors too put on the out side of my 1967 chevy 3/4 ton long wheel base 4speed truck pictures would be a big help

d10s69c10 · 10-06-2008, 07:55 PM

almost worthless but legal

Highsteel · 10-06-2008, 08:00 PM

I think these would do real nice on a big 4 X 4 truck.
I want to put more of a sport mirror on myself.

msgross · 10-06-2008, 08:01 PM

West Coast Jr. RV mirrors.. for that "truck" look...

Sinister · 10-06-2008, 09:35 PM

rogergodding · 10-06-2008, 09:49 PM

none, don't need them in TEXAS!!

Longhorn Man · 10-06-2008, 09:52 PM

as far as real mirros, to be used on a truck used as a truck.... these big fugly things flat out rock

and when you are towing, or when you only have the ohne mirror on that one door and you have too much junk in the back and can't look over your shoulder out the back window, you can swing them out REAL far like this, and almost see around the back of the truck.

Here's what I have now. They are literally worthless if you are towing, or if you think you wanna use them for backing up, and for normal driving, they are one step above worthless... but man they look cool.

Ol'Rover · 10-06-2008, 09:54 PM

the origional tri-pod mount (i want some mini-westcoasts tho...)

ETsC10 · 10-06-2008, 10:37 PM

which side?

Andy4639 · 10-06-2008, 10:49 PM

Here is what I have.

Pont406 · 10-06-2008, 10:56 PM

At first I didn't like big mirrors but after some time I like them now. Big mirrors and quet exhaust add that special touch when I am passing new trucks or suvs.

vectorit · 10-06-2008, 11:01 PM

Original style.

Cyclone44 · 10-06-2008, 11:27 PM

Two of my trucks have sport mirrors and you can't see worth a dime out of the passenger side one....But they look good on the truck......

low'n slow · 10-07-2008, 12:33 AM

I think the stock mirrors n the 67's are much better functionaly than the 72 sport mirrors. Do want to use them or have them look neat? Function/safety over looks.

re1 · 10-07-2008, 10:07 AM

I've got the larger ones,
there not as sporty as the small mirrors but are functional.

scapegoat · 10-07-2008, 10:46 AM

I've got one side mirror... can you spot it? lol

**Yukon Jack** · 10-07-2008, 10:51 AM

What mirrors to us definitely depends on what you expect of them. I haul things occasionally with my K20 so I've got a quality set of big/stable mirrors

I used to have the smaller style tripod mirrors and they shaked so bad they we worthless for me.

2bits · 10-07-2008, 12:54 PM

I got a peep mirror and plan to get another for the other side. I don't like the really bgi ones but the regualr size ones are ok for me. The PO filled the holes on the doors so I figure I will leave it that way since it is already done and clean looking.

sleepertruck72 · 10-07-2008, 07:17 PM

mine are off a 73 I believe they are smaller than 72 sport mirrors. They look nice but passenger side is almost not useable

sleepertruck72 · 10-07-2008, 07:19 PM

I would like to figure out how to mount those newer towing mirrors off Chevy trucks those would be sweet

68shortstep · 10-07-2008, 08:26 PM

Showroom-stock "Original Farmer-Mirrors"

yotaforce · 10-07-2008, 09:58 PM

NONE! Makes me go faster! lol

drivethechevy · 10-07-2008, 10:30 PM

im not sure if these are original 68 mirrors but i have goten 2 68's with these mirrors on them, the first truck is my 68 k10, the second truck is my 68 c20, there was no mention of the mirrors on either of the spids but that dosent mean they arnt stock

*chevy29267truck* · 10-08-2008, 12:12 AM

ok guys i see some of the diffent mirrors are some of them hard too find used

vectorit · 10-08-2008, 01:03 AM

Original styles are cheap enough new at the resto shops. Prolly cheaper than the big RV mirrors to.
