West coast mirrors - wanted - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

TonyM · 12-31-2003, 01:38 AM

I'm looking for a set of nice west coast mirrors, not the prettiest mirrors out there, but were original equipment on my truck. Unfortunately, I took mine to the dump in 87.... oops. These are the mirrors that connect above and below the door window... and stick out about 7 feet on each side. Thanks in advance,
Tony

Anyone? I've got a set but they are not a "nice" set but may be restoreable.

TonyM · 12-31-2003, 03:45 AM

THanks. Could you take a pic? Or describe the condition for me. What is the glass like? Are they rusty? How much are you looking to get for them? Thanks again
Tony

I went out this morning to get some pics and saw that the drivers side bracket is just about broke in two at the mounting point. The glass is ok but they are rusty, probably just junk.

Are'nt those west coast jr's. If not, what do you call the bigger mirrors with all the extensive brackets like big trucks have???

TonyM · 12-31-2003, 08:54 PM

Hi Guys,
I don't know the difference either between the Jr.s and the others. I do know that the ones I had looked most like My68beatertruck... But the actual mirrors themselves were a bit different. As I recal they were painted white and had a few ridges running vertically on the back of the mirror. They did not have the extensions like griesel72's... but they are nice mirrors. Thanks for your pic's! I'll recognize them when I see them... I hope. I'll try to get ahold of a pic of my old ones..
Thanks
TOny

Do these pics show what you want to find? I know them as West Coast Juniors and have understood they were not a factory option, but a common aftermarket install on trucks like my Custom Camper.

interesting...is the D29 option code for west coast junior mirrors, or mirror in general? i have tripod mirrors on my truck, and the same D29 option listed. here is a pic of the mirrors on my truck:

this sounds like a case for CPNE!
it would be cool if I am supposed to have the west coast mirrors, i like them alot better than the ones I have now. I guess I am a minority.

The style being sought here was used in 67/68 only (on light duty trucks) and was replaced with the style you have 1969 GMC in 69-72. I'm not suprise the option code was reused.

Both styles look good with dog dish hubcaps
