MORE MISCELLANEOUS FIXITS (1 OF 2)
Here are a few more things that needed attention that I’ve completed since my last FIXIT post in May 2011 (Post #21).
* Interior rear view mirror
The PO’s mirror didn’t look like it belonged in a truck.
From what I could gather here in the Board, 1969 was the last year that interior rear view mirrors were an option, so the one I inherited must have been added by a PO. I bought an OG mirror offered by 72shortbed12 in the Parts Board and installed it. It came from Utah so that was kinda cool since my truck came from Utah, too.
I looked for pics of mirrors in the Board to get the positioning as close to stock as possible. Pics were not easy to find, very few people take pics of their rear view mirrors. The cover should be saddle, not white, but I can paint over it or find a saddle cover later if it causes sleepless nights.
Here is a thread discussing these mirrors or lack thereof - - - - >

* Glove box emblem
My Chevrolet was a Custor so I got a new emblem from Ironhorse in the Parts Board. I glued it on with silicone glue because the studs were broken. Now my Chevrolet is a Custom like it should be.

* Glove box light
I got one of these from thelonerife in the Parts Board - - - >
