Mirrors - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mhicks · 03-29-2004, 11:57 AM

I am putting new doors on my '73 Chevy stepside and I am needing to drill the holes for my mirrors. Does anybody have any pictures of the stock mirrors that came on it? I got the pickup from my dad and they aren't the stock mirrors and was wanting to replace the mirrors I have with the stock ones.

I believe there are two different kinds of stock mirrors for your '73.

Tje sport mirrors and the 3-point mirrors...which ones are you wanting to put on?

Here is my 73 with the sport mirrors...

And here is a pic of my 76 with the 3-point mirrirs...

mhicks · 03-29-2004, 03:24 PM

I think I like the 3 point best. Do you know where there are any available?

bigblock73 · 03-29-2004, 03:26 PM

I am pretty sure you can get them at any auto parts chain...I also see them on e-bay every once in a while. Junkyards should have some too.

I believe they are pretty universal in fit.

Sorry for high jacking the thread. But I have a question for you Bigblock. How come my 76 K10 has gas filler doors and your has just the gas cap in the bed side its-self? Mine is just a stock 76K10 dual tank CA truck. Is yours a 3/4 or something else or was it some sort of option? Thanks.

bigblock73 · 03-29-2004, 04:53 PM

I don't know.

I thought they went to doors in 77 or 78.

The 76 I had had wood floors, I wonder if the bed sides are different for them, thus leaving me with that style of gas filler?

blink32 · 03-29-2004, 04:56 PM

Huh, thats goofy as all getout. Mine definitely has a metal bed floor. Who knows. Thanks for the info though.

My 77 K20 with dual tanks has the gas caps and no doors, also it is a metal floor like all the others I have seen . .

You think ya'll got it bad, I have a gas door on one side and a gas cap on the other!

85Silverado · 03-30-2004, 01:39 PM

And here's the drivers side....kinda hard to see but there's a gas cap in the side of the bed. Also...please ignore the rust..lol
