Most vendors carry the "Peep" mirrors.

My daughter-in-law has them on her '70 C-10 show truck that she drives occasionally and likes them ok. I think she got hers from LMC.

My son tried a set on his '67 C-10 work truck and found that they were not worth a darn for what he needed, to tow trailers.

They do look good but most have found that they are not real functional.

Try them and see how you like them.

I've got them on both my 68 GMC and 60 Chevy. Never had a problem since these trucks have so much viewing glass all round without obstructions. I'm the type who glances left or right when changing lanes anyway.

Yes, you do have to get used to them and are not functional if you have a big trailer behind you but neither are any of the short wider mirrors.

Use them, but make sure you still have one on the inside. Big loads in the bed and/or a trailer to pull make you cuss 'em. I still like mine.

Well for what I going to use them for, which is not a daily driver I think they will be ok not going to be doing any towing.

I love em, I run a peep on everything I drive that needs a mirror

But Im 19 & used to driving stuff with either no mirrors or just a peep

So, running these peep mirrors will also keep you young!

Had them on the 48 at one time and on My old 51 Merc at one time. Loved the look but couldn't see behind me worth a hoot on either rig and took them off both. Actually I think it was the same mirror that just got moved from one car to another to keep it legal to drive in Wa state.

ok on the driver's side... worthless on the passenger side

i only have one on the driver side of my '67 and it seems to do the job, given i dont drive my truck that much. but it works for me!!

Re: Peep mirrors
 
i agree with the worthless part on the pass side. but i get pretty good view from driver's side. save money & just buy one..... ps i have a extra one that is just sitting in my garage...lol!!!
