CSTs had the stainless mirrors and weren't 69/70 heads rectangular? Makes me wonder if the 3rd strike would be these might be repro.

Stuart,eh? I lived in Rio,then moved up along Indian River Drive in Walton back in 78 or 79. I worked for Lydia Yacht. Nice place! And,thanks for settin' that straight. I guess the factory didn't offer brightwork mirrors and who knows what came with the rectangle heads. Ones I've had did,but must have been changed.

Not to confuse the matter, but i have a original 1970 sales book that say you could get the big square side mirrors as an option. The type that mount in 3 places on the door. Shows them painted or stainless. they called it a "Below-eye-line mirror"
Oh, and we really like it here in Stuart, been here since '86

That's an optional mirror available on any truck. The rectangle heads that I've seen on the ones like in your picture are smaller.

I had a 70 CST/20, had those arms with rectangular stainless steel heads

**special-K** · 01-28-2011, 07:55 PM

I guess the stainless arms came out when they starting reproducing. Never paid much attention before. Kinda like the houndstooth bucket seat covers.
