Re: 1968 C20 Build
One of the parts I managed to pull off of the GMC was a pair of really, really poor condition West Coast Junior Mirrors. The mirrors themselves were crappy plastic replacements from the 70's which I threw away, but the armature was original to the truck. They were quite rusty, but cleaned up quite nicely.
Since the C20 had the exact same hole pattern in the doors I knew these were the same style that came with the truck, so I was pretty happy to put the time into rehabbing these arms and brackets rather than buying new. I did buy some new mirrors which matched up well. I've always really liked WC mirrors, I favor them over the more sporty style.
What I forgot was how hard it is to adjust these things, it easily took me 2 hours before I was happy. Just don't slam the door too hard or you have to do it all over again.
