Mirrors - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey Guys,
I'm looking for some ideas on some new mirrors for my truck. Right now I have little peep mirrors, and to be quite honest I need something I can see better out of than them. I saw these Jr.West Coast mirrors in a catalog that looked pretty cool, but I'm just not sure what I want. The PO filled in the holes for the original mirrors, so what ever I do I guess I'll have to drll. So post me some ideas, pics would help too.
Thanks,
Tim

Don't feel bad I am having the same problems. Don't really want the small round mirrors and I can't stand the ones I current have that seem to take up half the door

I personally like the factory ones with the arm that mounts in the stock spot with 3 screws, you can get round or square mirror heads. you would have to re-drill, but the bracing should be inside the doors for them.

I'll take a door panel off and see if it is.

I bought some mirrors from the truck shop and one side dont line up with the holes??? almost like if they are both for the pass side, but they arent.

+1 on the rectangular (stock) heads. I have the circles on now, but have the rectangles in the garage waiting for paint (10 minutes of work).

This way I can stick a little convex on there and see as good as can be!
