Guess you know that. If you have a 67/68 mirror bracket, you could drill 3 holes into the cab ceiling and mount it there. On 67-71 cabs that area is raised, but I'm not sure how much, or if it would even make a difference. I had a '67 K/10 Suburban that the PO had glued a '72-style mirror onto the windshield. Hated it. Always drooping, and it bounced around with vibrations at speed so much, I had to grab it to stabilize it to check my six. Mounting a proper OEM mirror bracket changed that. And by luck I had a spare in my parts bin. I had a spare mirror too. When I got a 12'' wide mirror out of a junkyard station wagon, I mounted it in my '68 Stepside. So the Sub got the Stepside's old mirror. :chevy: |

My 72 4x4 rattled the mirror off the windshield 1 too many times so I got 71 or so in the wrecking yard and installed it.....never came off again. |

I changed mine to a newer electric dimming, compass, temperature and Home-link mirror. I can open the garage door and see what the temperature is and what direction I'm headed all at my finger tips! One of the top 5 mods on my 71 c-10. I put just a GM compass & temperature mirror in the Ramp truck.:chevy:

That Robo-Mirror's got to be twice as heavy as a stock '72 Day/Nite unit. Does it have the Day/Nite angle switch? |

My repop day/night '67 mirror was vibrating too much - seems the tension isn't tight enough on the day/night cam or lever, so I ordered an older style fixed version.

Oh yea I'm working on the 71 truck mirror mount and for my 64 SS Impala. I want to install one in the Impala as well. Here is my first try, I'm on revision 2 now though but need some parts. :chevy: |
Re: mirror question
I put the 67 rearview in my 72 cab...like it was said, 3 holes and it's installed. I think the cabs are slightly different in this area between these years, but it mounts. looks proper, and works like it should.

Yes, the 67-71 cabs had a small raised section to mount the mirror bracket, but it's not important. |
