well, i'll be ditching the sport mirrors on my 72 burb in favor of some stainless flip out towing mirrors pulled off my dads 84 burb. they have the same size head as the tripod mirrors that were available in 72 (my dad's 72 burb had them) so you can actually see behind and beside you without issue. even the factory mirrors on my dad's current 87 burb are not as nice as the big head mirrors and i don' think they look good on our old trucks. i actually think the tripod mirrors are the best "fit" on these trucks (they are trucks, not sports cars) and you can build a spacer (tube/longer bolt) to bring them out for towing purposes like my dad did on his 72 25 years ago.
