What side mirrors to use?

[markeb01]

That's what I have on mine. Adjustability isn't the best, but I like the appearance enough to put up with it:



The driver's side works fine but there really isn't a place to position the passenger side for the driver to see it. At least the passenger has something to look out of!

Not "passenger" markeb01, co-pilot!

Andice. Where do you find that style mirror ?
LMC, Brothers ?

Ebay. Search for M151 Willys or other military vehicles. Seems like I recall a thread here or on the 6066 GMC Forum discussing these mirrors. I've yet to receive mine in the mail so I don't know how/if they will fit the mounting hole on the OE mirror arm but I am not afraid of reaming it out if needed. These old army mirrors may even come in a convex shape for added visibility - esp on passenger side. I will post more as I go.

What about the small mirrors of of a 69 chevy truck? My brother has them on his 69 I was eyeing them up for my truck. I still haven't had a chance to see how they look someone on this site might have an idea of fit and functionality?

Got around to getting mirrors painted. Plan to install soon.

Here is what I have now , I found moving it forward like they did on the cars with the wrap around windshields made the visibility better by 100 percent .. but that being said I replaced these with round mirrors but they just don't give you enough coverage .. I am going back to a jr westcoast... did anyone have a part number for a convex round 5.5 - 6inches in diameter??

Hey I like that forward movement for those mirrors...yes the jr's are the way to go for sure.
So don't you think its time for good men to stand up like your signature phrase says?

[Nope]

I used 55 chevy bel air mirrors, I can see out of them pretty good and I like em because they are more streamline.

Back to basics..Less is more.

These ebay mirrors are a really close visual match to the factory offset stud mirror head. I bought a half dozen. The studs are a bit longer than factory, (I think metric threads too) and mine did not come with acorn nuts. Also, of the six delivered to me, the glass disc was loose on five. They would've rattled like heck on the road. I complained and was sent five good ones at no charge .. just sayin'.

[Andice]

Both of mine arrived in great condition with no loose glass. The studs may be a bit longer but who cares. The acorn nuts required are 1/4-28 often used on Harley-Davidson. These mirrors are far superior to the crap sold by LMC, Classic Parts, etc., etc.

Andice thanks for the tip, ordered 2 for myself.

These were in the back of the trk when I got it. don,t know where they came from, but sort of a trade between trailer and sports trk. I like em.

Not sure, but I think the source on these may have dried up.

[elf w/capital T]

Cruzn66, those are sweet but I want the offset with a convex mirror... if they exist.... thanks!

[shp4man]

Put full size west coast mirrors on mine. Got a good deal on them. It looks like an elephant with big ears, but man, you can see back there.
