Rear view mirror replacement - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Tynee · 02-07-2003, 10:38 AM

On the style that hangs from the roof of the truck, is it possible to only replace the mirror itsef, or does the entire assembly have to be changed? I found an entire assembly , but the colred portion that mounts to the cab is the wrong colr. Don't have the truck close or else I'd just go out and look.

Thanks,
Tynee

not sure but you could paint it...

Tynee, the mirror asm comes in several parts. You can replace just the mirror head assembly, the hanging bracket or the rubber cover that matches the interior. Everything unscrews.

And an older caddy has a great mirror to swap on there. Much better IMO.

I had gotten this one a few years back...I THINK it was off of a 68-ish Eldorado.

Mail, is that mirror for sale? I like the looks of it.

Nope, I already sold it and shipped it out. i have another, but it is for my truck. I'm always looking for more, but they are not that common.

yes you can paint the colored piece to match your interior i did it when i was painting my seat brackets and seat belt buckles and i have had no problems with it but after you paint it it will be kinda sticky for several days

A vinal die would be much better than paint though.
