Jon (60-66) recently suggested the earlier trucks may have had black bases too. Found a pic in the same thread supporting the earlier black base idea.
Also note most (not all) promo pics show the offset mirror heads hung with the bulk of the head BELOW the stud.
Thats Correct Bruce. Im finding the black arm only on 1960 Chevy so far. 1961 1962 Cast arms painted body color as are 1963-1966. Bolts-screws nuts are silver cad or zinc plated .

Then GMC comes along , For 1960-1962 was a White cast arm and white mirror and 1963 for sure, EDIT : 1966 was a silver , same thin mirror and white stamped steel arm. Heres NOS RH examples.
