Side mirrors replacements? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone have a suggestion on side mirrors for a square body?
Something that won't break the bank. It's a farm truck.
Even the ones I see on Amazon have the backwards contour for the body mount cover.

If you need replacement glass for the Dumbo bases you can get it from any decent glass shop.

i find them on ebay all the time but if its a farm truck beater, im sure your local auto parts store has something cheap to just stick on there

Some of the box stores may still have replacement dumbo style mirrors. I have found them in the salvage yards fairly cheap. They aren't the most popular style.

Thanks. I had thought about the salvage yards. I may go that route, I need the complete mirrors, not just glass.
