72 C-10 LWB stock mirrors type?

I don't have any information on what mirrors my truck have come with in 1972. I see several different type of mirrors but would love to know what I should have versus what I think is cool but incorrect.

Thanks in advance.

Mine came with the small round black mirrors which I thought were going to be after market but I was going through the assembly manual and it showed the exact mirror. I think they are small and worthless and also want to figure out options. Thankfully I've never been called small, worthless a couple times.

If optional mirrors are not listed on the SPID you truck was assembled with the base mirrors left and right. Often incorrectly called "sport mirrors" they are IMHO useless.

Be very careful about what you see in the assembly manual as being applicable to your specific truck.

The round head fixed arm mirrors were factory on 67-69 trucks.

I gather by you saying you don't have any info on what mirrors came on your truck that you don't have a SPID? If not, there is n way to tell without going down to bare metal (and hopefully more than one style of original mirror haven't been mounted. So, there are no mirrors now, or you are wondering if they are original?
