Hi folks! Just bought a '72 custom camper and this is my first post. I have already learned a ton from this forum so thank you. It only has one mirror (driver side) and it doesn't look stock. The passenger side has holes, but no mirror. I am wanting to keep it stock if possible, any idea what mirrors it probably came with based on my SPID?

I'd assume this is the same movement wise, but the convex mirror probably compensates for it to some extent? For 43 bucks I'm willing to find out the hard way, but would love to hear from anyone who has tried these. |

My 1969 C 10 came with R/V mirrors Option 4D29BH ? Like a dope I took them off years ago . Of course , now I can't find them . Sure need a pass side mirror when backing up with a load of limbs at the dump . Just bought a pair from LMC . 38-5879 . Now I gotta drill more holes in my doors . Nice to have this web site to look at other trucks and get advice .

Re: Mirror thread
Looking at these pics I did not see any peep mirrors, haven't had a chance to sit in a truck that have these installed Brothers Trucks sell 3" and 4". Would like to get some opinions on whether or not they give a decent view of the blind spots right rear and left rear corners of a truck. Thanks!

Peep mirrors are something you would get at an auto parts store. If you hit the search button they have been the subject of many threads. |
Re: Mirror thread
Thanks CG I will continue the search !!

Re: Mirror thread
I've installed my LMC door mirrors . Way better than nothing , but I sure wish I'd left my factory mirrors on . With my luck I'll probably find them now .

Here are two more period factory mirrors. The white truck has the " fly swatters" and other is the stainless swing lock western mirrors used on '67 and '68. Lets turn this thread into the definitive mirror thread and try to get factory option codes on SPID for each style, both painted and stainless. Trucks with standard issue or aftermarket mirrors will not have any option codes on SPID.

Mine have a fair amount of vibration, but it doesn't seem to come from the arm as it seems that the repop mirror back is too light and flexes way to easy. I will be looking for some originals to try out if they are better. I have mine oriented horizontality instead of vertically which I doubt makes a difference.

My '68 had a factory mount for one of these mirrors. I scrounged a pair, and drilled the passenger door to have a matching set. No idea if it had round or square mirrors originally. I went with the round ones. I used a convex auxiliary mirror off a Semi-Truck for the passenger side. works good. My truck is a low option model, V8, 4-speed 2wd, plain Jane, short wide. |
