The mirrors on the truck now look like what GM called "Bus Style Extension Mirrors". There were similar aftermarkets as well. I'm on a new compouter so don't have any reference pictures or files available. There were mirrors I've only seen on dual rear wheel cab & chassis trucks that look like the standard 3-hole mount type I call stick mirrors but way longer. I think they were called "Long Side Mirrors". I have a feeling your truck had those. Do you know the truck's history? I believe it was bought to haul a camper. What a fantastic truck! Like something I would have ordered.
