BUXMAN66 · 04-14-2002, 08:54 PM

I'm not sure what you're asking but they do stick out a ways and alot of people don't like the way they look (I'm not included in that bunch!) For 68 anyway the arms should be body colored and the mirrors should be painted white.

Like this one?

Mine were painted body color originally. (off of the old blue Longhorn) Had a stainless steel mirror head.

i guess what i was asking was whether or not the mirror head and arm would stick way out kinda like a west-coast style mirrors do.longhorn's pictures kinda show it better along the running lines of the gmc.are those stock longhorn? just wonderin' if it'll look like 2 satelite dishes mounted to the sides of my truck going' down the road!

My mirror heads are only 5 inches..I think stock is 6 inch?
Other than that, yes, the arms are stock.
