rear view mirror

did our vans come with rear view mirrors?

Some did and some didn't. I think it depends on the windows in the doors or it could have been and option. I've got 4 second gens and none of them have interior rear view mirrors but two of them are solid panels. The two with windows both had the external west coast mirrors. My two first gens both have windows and both have the interior mirrors.

i am going to put one in her but if there is an oe floating around i would like to go that way. the po took off the west coast and put on the ford style universals, wish he would have left them alone.

Maybe someone else will chime in on this. The first gen type show up on e-bay occasionally but I'm not sure what a second gen even looks like. Check with Bills66 or DanTheVanMan they might have one from the vans they are parting out.

I had a rear view mirror in my 69, took it out because I didn't like the looks of that mirror (it wasn't that bad just knew there were cooler mirrors out there) It now has a first gen base w/ a olds mirror I picked up at a swap meet

Hey done; does your mirror shake when you drive. Mine does at certain speeds and I am wondering if they are suposed to have an extra suport l;ike I have seen on some other vehicles. Right down behind the ball joint on the mirror of my 65 (on the windshiel side) there is a socket. I have seen vehicles with a post at that place going to a small suction cup on the windshield. Comment?

thanks dan

i've got a second-gen rearview floating around here that i was going to massacre for an lcd mount (my van is a panel) when i find it, i'll shoot a pic or two. maybe you'd like it more than i do

I've got a second-gen out of the parts van complete with plastic cover. Going to put it in the 66....

if someone is still looking for a factory rearview for a second gen - here it is, plastic and all. PM if you're interested.

Those are petty hard to find in good condition Copenhagenfiend!!!!

Mine cleaned up very nicely!
