What Mirrors to Replace The Dumbo's on my Crew Stepper? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

toomanytoyz · 05-24-2009, 12:29 AM

Don't really want to put the Dumbo's back on my Crew Project, What are you Guy's Running as Replacements? Not at all interested in Peep style, Would still like something with Good Visibility..........

Thanks, Rick

Stock below eyeline (sport) mirrors.

yeah, MAYBE a small car. but not a 20 foot truck.
but my 2 cents would be the stock chrome mirrors that Bradley posted. or the "sport" mirrors but I would think you would start getting into the visibility problem

i went with the sport mirrors on mine. your truck is looking good.

yes I have it also didn't have a rear view mirror driving down the road wasn't to bad just trying back it up in a drive way about backed over a mail box, almost hit a parked car, and then the back of the bed kissed the house

I still haven't hung the rear view mirror back on my truck, as it is directly in my line of sight when driving (6' 8" is a bit of a pain at times.). I just tonight got around to tightening the side mirrors up so they stay in place when the doors are closed.

I would say the stainless sports (80's) as well.

Wow your back window must have been pretty dark tinted.

I tried those little clamp on hotrod mirrors and those are pretty hard to see with, unless you stick on a panoramic mirror on top.

put real mirrors on

bigblock73 · 05-25-2009, 08:08 PM

How about 90/91 Suburban/Blazer power mirrors?

cochino12 · 05-25-2009, 08:23 PM

I'm still debating on what to do for my mirrors too, I think I'll end up running dumbo mirrors. I think your's would look cleaner with the sport mirrors though

Make some like these

babyJay · 06-07-2009, 01:52 PM

Or find a pair of old Rambler mirrors like these.

884x4Sub · 06-07-2009, 02:27 PM

the sport mirrors are a good compromise...cheap too

That gets my vote too. They aren't that "sporty" looking, but don't look bad on a crewcab or Burb. Painted to match they would blend in rather than stand out.

I love sport mirrors, but they would not be my choice for a CC.

pcmcobra · 06-07-2009, 06:53 PM

I agree with the power mirrors, they look good, and you can paint them to match.

smashingchuck · 06-07-2009, 08:48 PM

Those motorcycle mirrors are even more useless than the standard peep mirror. I vote sport mirrors or the power style ones.
