Whatsa 65 GMC rearview mirror look like? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

As I slowly reassembly my 65 gmc I realize I don’t have a rearview mirror.
Looking at pics on line of the 3 hole mount ones that fasten to the metal above the glass but when I look at my truck there are no holes there. Was there some other style for gmc?

So I purchased a repro like this one. It looks like it comes with chrome bolts. I'm wondering how to attach it. Did the mirrored trucks have some kind of pressed in nuts? I may need to get some sheet metals screws?

Mine came with three sheet metal screws as seen in pic. I would drill 3 holes slightly smaller then screws - good luck !

Strange. I never thought a vehicle would come with no rearview.

My 80 service truck had no need for a rear view mirror.
