Up early worrying about the correctness of that old truck Woody?
I’m sure you’ve already been here and that’s why you posed the question, but for anyone else that might be new to the forum, here’s what I found in my reference material.
There's only one bracket listed in the reproduced 1950 accessory list, 986381.
The 1954 accessories list doesn’t show a bracket at all.
The parts book up to 1954 also doesn't list a bracket in gp.10.185. How ever they do offer an “Arm” in gp.16.069, pn. 3696059 left & 3695368 right both approximately 10” and both use the 3696632 mirror (5 1/16” OD).
The parts book up to 1957 listing is the same as the 1954 parts book but continues the part number up thru 1957.
I would assume that they were all painted, if they were bright metal they surly would have mentioned it as a sales feature.
I’d bet the farm that the chrome mirror arms are an invention of the vendors to fill the hot rodders desire to dress up an old work horse.
