Re: mirror's or no mirror's
As long as Washington doesn't require them, I say leave them off. It looks sweet like that.

Re: mirror's or no mirror's
Hey, Boat! I think it looks great just like it is. Of course, you wouldnt want some if pulling a boat, but I bet you have another truck for that.

Re: mirror's or no mirror's
I like the sport mirrors even though they don't offer much view.
If it were me, I would consider the 62-69 Nova Mirror.

Re: mirror's or no mirror's
I don't like the no mirror look. It just doesn't look right

Re: mirror's or no mirror's
i'd leave them off and do a 1 piece window... would really set it off clean.
if not the 1 piece, i would like the small sport mirrors on your truck.

Re: mirror's or no mirror's
would have to agree with n2trux the round 60's camaro mirrors would look real good on yours as well as any of the 73-79's > they tend to compliment the round headlights & your chrome body trim . Think the small rectangular ones go better with the 81-87's with the rectangular lights & just the general look . As far as peep mirrers , they look better on the older trucks (40 &50's).
Even though Im old school Boat , your truck looks pretty damn good the way it is. |

Re: mirror's or no mirror's
I think the truck looks very clean but it does kinda look naked. Aside from that tho...I can't stand to Drive a vehicle with no mirrors.

Re: mirror's or no mirror's
It is sleek without them but I like em both ways . I think it will stand out in any show with or without them so it is just a matter of what suits you .

Re: mirror's or no mirror's
If you deside to go with n2trucks suggestion, i have one of those mirrors it needs to be cleaned up a little but i don't remember any pitying on the mirror. Send me a PM on how you can get it. By the way your truck kicks ass mirrors or no mirrors.

Re: mirror's or no mirror's
I love the no mirror look, i just don't like driving without them. I went with mirrors found on mid to late 60's Chevelles, Camaros, Novas.
Now I need to fill the bazillion mirror holes in the doors,hand me that welder please.

Re: mirror's or no mirror's
I can't drive without the mirrors. But I would want something nice on a clean truck suck as yours. Let us know what you decide.

Re: mirror's or no mirror's
i think they require em,at least the driver's side.i've just been lucky not getting pulled over.my thought's on the suggested one piece window look.beside's the cost (ouch).i really like the wing window look,to me it's a big part of the era of these trucks.i do understand the whole "smooth' package thought.but,i still have door handles and drip rails.so,it's not a true "shaver..and i do like the round ones ken suggested.but, all in all if i do it.i'm leaning to the small rectangular sports that anthony(classic87) suggest's.to me it just a fit with my semi stock package look that i did.but,it's a big decision just to haul out the drill and dive in...letcha know what i decide on....thank's guy's.

Re: mirror's or no mirror's
I would go with mirrors since you have all the other trim. I like the round one n2trux posted.

Re: mirror's or no mirror's
i think that if you dont have shaved door handles, locks and turn signals in the fender, keep the mirrors. but that is one of the slickest trucks on this board, i like the way is sits!
