Lets see your mirrors.
 
Hey everyone, I am looking for some different mirrors for my 65 swb. Any chance I can get some members to post pics of their side view mirrors.

This is what is on mine right now. They are big. I am slowly getting a list of parts I want to upgrade to. Working on getting it running good right now.

I guess I dont have good shots of my mirrors....I'm not into the really small peeps most people mount at the top...

I really like the look of the stock chrome ones.

I have been wondering about those peep mirrors that mount on the top of the door on the edge. Are they useable at all?

Chiefrocka that looks about the size that I am liking right now.

Keep em coming everyone....lets see more.

I use peeps and they keep life interesting:lol:! Im still not used to looking up at the mirror. Passenger side is a waste unless you lay down on the passenger seat. I think they look cool, though.

I like the originals...:chevy:

I like those originals too. Are those pretty useable? They look real nice. Those are the ones I am leaning toward. I think they look great on the truck but would like to know if they are practical.

They are going to be much more practical then most anything else outside of what you already have and, will look a whole lot better. They are the OEM that GM installed.

Hey 502 tripower, any suggestions as to where I should purchase the stock ones? I see they have them on LMC.

I like Peeps on the upper door frame. Drivers side is fine, you can see what you need to see to change lanes, back-up, etc. A trick for the passenger side is to stick a 3" or 4" convex spot mirror to it (as big as will fit). Then that side becomes usable as well. Works great! I ran this set-up on my 72 and my Dad has the same thing on his 37 Pontiac Street rod.

That is what I have and they work fine. My only complaint is when pulling a trailer they are a little small. A convex on the right sounds like a good idea.

When I bought my truck it had the rectangle side mirrors, which I believe to be an original option.

I just didn't like 'em. I can't help it. I didn't. So one day when I was over at Classic Parts I had them throw a couple of the chrome stock round mirrors in my pile of stuff. Kind of an impulse buy. But I sure like them better. And yeah, I can see out just fine.
