Need help on 68 mirror arms… - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The mirror arms are different lengths. I need to know which one goes on which side. I'd think the longer one would go on the pass side. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Justin

GM made so many variations of rear-view mirrors, that we need pix to get what you're saying.
Sounds like you have big ear towing mirrors. West Coast Juniors or bigger.
I'd try the long arms on the passenger side.

I can get pics later. But there just the mirrors that bolt below the wing window with three bolts. That got the upside down triangle base. With like a four inch or so round mirror. I think the longer one goes on the pass side just not forsure.

Thanks,
Justin

If they are what i am thinking of, the flat spot of the triangle part would be to the top (point down) so they could only go one way for left and right. The flat spot should line up with a body line also. Hope that makes sense.

Man I feel so stupid right now. I took something so easy and made it difficult. I never even went and put them up to the truck. I just had them setting on my bench, and noticed one was longer than the other. I guess I shouldn't stay up so late with little sleep.

Man I feel stupid!
Thanks,

Original peep style arms with the small round mirrors, the longer one goes on the passenger side. They will only go one way if you have this style.
