Stock mirrors

[juddoats]

What have you guys used for mirrors on the stock 3 hole curved arms for our trucks? I just got my mirror arms chromed and now need to find the "best looking" mirrors to bolt to them.
If you have pictures of what you have done post here or email to me please
juddoats@hotmail.com
Thanks in advance

I would ask this guy if the posts are offset and then buy these if they are:

Make an offer of maybe $5-$10 lower each maybe?

I know you said chrome though..... maybe paint them to match truck or something.

These may also look fine but I prefer offset mounts as the factory ones.

What do you mean offset posts?

What do you mean offset posts?

Meaning that the post on the mirror head is not in the
center of the back of the mirror.

do you think these would look good? They are still a center mount but rectangle would give you more "visibility". thoughts......

If you want an inexpensive (off-set) mirror head , pep Boys has 4 3/4" round mirrors (stainless with plastic chromed bases) ...pitch the base and attach it to your chromed 3 pt factory base ...you will need to find some fine thread nuts...not much thread length, but works for $10/each.

Stainless and CIPA makes pretty good quality stuff.

I picked mine up at NAPA. they are about an inch bigger over all.

I also have 2 of the military heads...just not chrome ...nice though...will paint them white and use on my "67 shorty.

Oklamopar...thank you for the pics I think I do like the recatangle heads better...they look like they "fit" our boxy trucks...what did you mean they are about 1 inch bigger over all??

[wally426ci]

Rectangle will be more visibility. If you look at the factory books, it looks like you could get a lot of styles.

about an inch taller and an inch wider.
thought it would bother me, but it don't.
some where I have a side buy side compare

6x8 inches instead of the more period common 5x7 inches. Offset round you would find a 6 inch diameter works better than the standard 4 inch version, offset is better regardless of diameter.

does anyone have a link to a complete mirror assembly? I bought some from moon but I couldnt get the correct angle from mirror and just broke the stem trying to make em work.

Judd this is what I'm talking about, I think they are fine.

I have a pair of black offset rectangular mirror heads I don't really need. I'll check and see if the metal is steel or aluminum under the paint.

[AJwestcoast]

hey yall, I had one of the original 5 X 7 rectangle mirrors on a short stem like the black truck in the picture, some idiot clipped mine off and now im looking for a replacment.

Does anyone know where i can get two of the chrome stems and 3 point brackets? ill gladly just buy those bigger rectangle miror heads i think they look fine

Thanks!!!!
