The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks west coast mirrors for a 65

I have been in the process of restoring a 65 3/4 ton four wheel drive for about 5 years. I am trying to find some stainless west coast mirrors to replace the 6x11 painted ones that were on the truck. I have seen them on trucks in the past but I had no idea trying to locate some would be so hard. I was hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction or even have a set laying around. If you know of anything I would greatly appreciate it. thanks again.

Here's an old link for west coast on that auction;

It appears he may have a selection. Hope this helps.

Pretty sure LMC has 'em.

What you will be looking for are actually called West Coast Junior mirrors. GM made them as accessories as did other companies.
her's a kit for Scouts but they should work if you do a little homework first.

Here's a less expensive set.

Here's a new but old looking set on eBay

I found an nos set on eBay a few years back. They are available from time to time. But you'll find more of the painted NOS sets than you will the chrome or SS ones from GM. Good luck.

I have found the jr west coast mirrors, what about finding the west coast style that have a full c hoop bracket that the mirror bolts on to and has a flat back to the mirror.

I found a set of the flat back West Coast Junior Mirrors on Ebay. I wasn't able to find them anywhere other than there.

yeah those are the mirrors I am looking for, I really like those better than the jr west coast, stainless ones are hard to find I guess

"I really like those better than the jr west coast" ??

West Coast Junior refers to the size of the mirror. Everything referenced on this page so far has been a "junior".

I guess I have always considered those west coast mirrors and the ones that do not have a full c bar or loop that bolts to the door jr west coast I guess, but you are probably right they are all juniors.

Good luck, I just got some for my 62 k20 form a guy on here. I placed a add in the wanted area. But I did just want the painted ones.

In all my looking I never saw a crome/ stainless one. I looked on other sites too. Dare I say I looked at old Dodge and the F word ones. Most of those mirrors were made by outside suppliers. So look on other makes.

Yes jr west coast are the mirrors on the c hoop. The rectangle one that used the same are as the round one was just know as the optional mirrior. But all the sales lit i have calls waht ur looking for a Jr West Coast or camper mirror.

What ever it is call doesnt matter. Good lucking in finding what you want.

I'm not sure what you guys are looking for, but chrome or polished aluminum mirrors are still available from any heavy truck dealer or any salvage dealer that parts heavy trucks. http://www.ryderfleetproducts.com/c...oast-Assemblies/erm/browsecategories.jsp

i know retrac made some darn nice mirror's ,they even made them for chevy in the day .

The only factory Jr. West Coast mirrors available on the light-duty trucks from '60-'66 were painted, although chrome or stainless models are available and era-correct, they were not offered as a factory option.

I have a few sets, if you are still searching.

4 5 6 do you have pictures of the mirrors? I am looking for another set but prefer painted ones. Thanks Matthew
