Mirror option question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**rs74** · 01-23-2013, 10:52 AM

I am a bit new to these year trucks so I am still trying to learn all the different things about them. One thing I am wondering about is if there are any mirrors that will fit these trucks that are like the ones on my 85 Silverado. I think some people call them "dumbo" mirrors. My 91 Z71 has some like it also.

I am not a big fan of West Coast mirrors cause they just stick way out there. The pickup versions seem to be too small. There may not be any of what I am looking for but thought I would ask.

The first pic is kind of what I am looking for. The second picture is a smaller version of the west coast maybe? Not sure on that one.

The earlier years also offered a West Coast Jr prior to the below eyeline mirrors also called D29. In addition a multitude of accessory aftermaket options exist.

Maybe the square sport mirror is the closest to what I am looking for. I like for it to only have one mounting point versus multiple points. Just a matter of preference but I think the multiple point mirrors take away from the look of these trucks. JMO. I guess I have never been a fan of the big mirrors. To each his own I guess.lol

I like sport mirrors looks best but if you tow trailers or haul a camper you need the bigger mirror for function
