<VV> Replacement FC Round Mirrors

[Anarchyburger@aol.com]

The original FC outside rearview mirror had a three-screw base with a 
matching three-nut metal plate inside the door skin for rigidity.   The base and 
shaft were a solid cast metal design with the shaft measuring approximately 4" and 
slightly curved towards the outside.   The mirror head was a basic GMC & 
Chevrolet truck 5" round design commonly used in the early '60's. Most FC's I've 
seen, owned or parted out lacked this somewhat rare, factory-installed mirror.  
 I would guess that is why so many had the aftermarket, dealer-installed 
"elephant ears"   style mirrors.   Today, you can get the currently reproduced GMC 
& Chevy truck outside mirrors on the market.   These have the same mounting 
pad design but are made of stamped steel with a shaft which is a tube and is 
about 10" long as it goes straight out and back.   They come in black but can be 
painted to match the body as the originals.   The repro mirror head is 
exactly the same as the originals.   Of course you can get the repros or a nice used 
original from us!
