Chrome mirror supports -

Did these camper trucks ever come with chrome support bars ? The dimensions seem a little different than my chrome Suburban ones.

My 70 had chrome supports. All rusted now. I've switched to the sport mirrors.

Yes. Actually all pieces except the elbows are stainless. Posts 13 and 14 in this thread may help.

Re: Chrome mirror supports -

The stainless version was option code DG4. The painted version was option code D29. The literature and most SPIDs called them below eye line mirrors. They were first used on '69s and were listed on the SPIDs as west coast juniors, which, in reality, is a misnomer.

From what I've read, the repros are less than desirable and may not match the factory holes.

The picture below may be helpful.

Question Re: Chrome mirror supports -

Questions for you guys:

How do you distinguish between the original DG4's and the after market tow mirrors?
Any stampings/part # on them?

I have a set of stainless mirrors identical to the ones on the blue truck posted.
I want to say they are aftermarket because of their great condition.

Do the originals have a different back side shape and acorn nuts mounted to the arms? Mine, like the mirrors posted, don't have the acorn nuts.
I will try to get a better photo them later.


Thanks, Sam
