sorry for the rather large bump, but i want to do this on my 72 c10 and have a few questions. do the mirrors leak at all on the inside? i know they have gaskets, but it looks like yours are mounted right on that edge. also do the vent windows function the same? there's no interference with the mirrors right? and just wondering are the manual versions movable by hand because they have an adjuster that mounts on the inside but i don't think that'll match the width of my door so i might have to cut that off. thant's all for now, thanks.

No they don;t leak and yes the vent works like it should,no interference.There is an arm on the power mirrors that needed cut off,to fit inside the door.I don't know about the manual ones.

Funny I never saw that post and I put those mirrors on my 69 stepside. Though I was the first to use them on 67-72! Oh well.

I love them. I cut off the support arm that goes inside the door and made some backing plates.

Hey Frizzle Fry, you mounted yours a bit different. Do you have any more pictures showing side view?
I'm installing one piece windows and looking for mirror options. Thanks.

Here you go. Check both pages.

off topic, but i noticed you have chrome drip rail mouldings, are those stock? where can i get some?
edit: @ chevy duty they have stainless... $149... "An excellent reproduction of a very rare option."

Frizzle Fry · 12-08-2005, 02:35 AM

That's more than I knew... They were on there when I bought it

Was that really an option?

matthufham · 12-08-2005, 11:20 PM

i suppose they were an option, but for $149 repros, i see why they're rare.
