Ok lets see your rear view mirrors I need ideas?

63sbssbbw · 09-12-2007, 08:33 PM

I had rectagular ones ,but didn't think they matched the style of the truck, so bought these 5" round ribbed ones ,like them much better

I have the same ones and they look nice as well in fact i think that its one of the few nice things on my truck for the moment

fchava · 09-15-2007, 11:40 AM

I have the stock type. I think it really depends on how you are planning on using your truck. When I tow my trailer the mirrors are really too small, but I like them.[IMG]

Peeps!

**ChiefRocka** · 09-15-2007, 02:47 PM

I also prefer the stock round mirrors, in chrome...but for now the Kragen specials will have to do

jchav62 · 09-17-2007, 12:27 PM

I had the small peeps before, but they were hard to see out of. I liked the ones I got because they are about the same diameter as stockers...

Yup that was my problem too. Thanks

Skirtchaser · 09-18-2007, 02:46 PM

The stock rounds in chrome, if it works, don't fix it! The sill clamped shorty's are sick as well. use locktite on the pinch bolts or they will leave you at the wrong time!

**Chevy Fleetside** · 09-18-2007, 10:08 PM

Here are the ones I have on my truck...

fercho71 · 09-19-2007, 01:42 AM

I bought them 5 years ago. They are jardine mirrors. Try www.jardine.com and see what happens.. I just looked at the website and it seems they don't do mirrors for automotive anymore. You can try calling them at 951-371-1744 and the web address is www.jardineproducts.com but it is all motorcycle..

How about one of these?

I'm not really sure. I'm told they were an accessary mirror that lets you look in one location to see what is ahead of you and behind you at the same time.

Could you tell me how far from the body the mirrors stick out? If you measured underneath from the widest part of the body to the edge of the mirror, how many inches? Also, can you twist those so that they stick out more when you are towing, etc?

Thanks in advance.
