Did you actually have trouble finding mirrors? They should work fine. There is a backing plate that goes inside the door with nuts welded to it, for bolting them in place. I hope you got those too.....

Not trouble finding mirrors

Mirror arms that are original and still gold to somewhat match my original paint.

I got the backing plates as well.

Mirror installed

Putting the backing plate and mirror on by yourself is tricky until you get some duct tape.

Was not happy with the "original" color of the arms I got so I painted them with the closest match I could find. Which is good enough for now

Re: 68 GMC 4x4 Suburban build up

Took the engine accessories off to give it some detailing

I will get some more photos and a write up soon.




I listed the Burb for sale just because I am so busy I don't feel like I have the time but all the potential buyers seem to fall out so thankfully it looks like I will be keeping it and doing what I can little by little.
