Welcome to the forum. Here’s an earlier thread on the topic of west coast mirrors that may be helpful:

The mirrors shown in photo ad are GMC accessories and will be extremely difficult to find, if there on a Chevy, they were special ordered by dealer. THe photo in previous link shows the correct "west coast type" '65 Chevy pickup mirrors(first photo much easier to find), which only came painted on pickups thru '66 and were not retractable. There also was a below eye line mirror available thru '66 like this:http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-ACCESSOR...7eb704&vxp=mtr

No, the GMC type in the photo is differnent than the Chevy type, but they do look similar at first glance.If you look very carefully at photo, you will notice brackets that attach to doors are different than the much more common Chevy west coast type.The arms are similar but also are different and as mentioned before, those in photo are rectractable, Chevy west coast is the solid type.

DPowers- This was not started as a "For Sale or "Wanted to Buy" thread. Please don't make it one and force the staff to close it.

both types are available. I'd leave what you like on it, you can always add 66 caps later.

Pickmup has nice caps for sale all the time - Post #1 shows a restored set of painted 67-68's: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=528031

As for the 66 caps if you are looking for em, LMC sells em as do some other vendors: http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/CBE/full.aspx?page=55

Note, the repops have a little rib around the 3-way perimiter, and that is correct for some years, not others - I forget which ones (someone may be able to help) but they are very nice repops and I'd have no problema puttin em on my truck. I had a set on my 66 for a bit, but sold em when I put the 59 imp caps on it. Anyway, they are an option if you want to go original and don't want to scour swap meets for a lifetime to find em.
