    Unfortunately yes. Smile Just kidding.

    But seriously, they are Chevy mirrors and they are mounted too low for me to see out of properly. The Dodge mirrors are similar in design, but have a notch in the base to match the body line just below the door winders. I will probably get the correct mirrors and sell these. The lack of the notch is probably why these mirrors were mounted low like they are.

    Nate years ago I got those Dodge mirrors from JC Whitney. Don't know if they still carry them, but might be worth a look

    I found a set on Ebay a while back for my '72. They are stainless steel too which is nice. I'll have to see if I can find the seller again.

    Well..compared to the vans on here, '85 is new! LOL!

    The best part about this van is there isn't one speck of rust on it. A few dings and dents, but no rust.

    Ya I had an 85 with round headlights too . First vehicle I ever bought (im on #53 now) it was a regular wheelbase window that deported illegals down in texas so to say stock is being modest . I ended up putting a 413 in when the 318 died and beefed up the suspension put 295/50s with 15x10 nascar rims . What a scary beast wrapped in flat black when it wasnt cool to do it!

    I like this one tho very smooth!

    My other 85 had a slant six in it with dealer installed a/c. Strange set-up. It was an ex-Air Force van. I sure miss it sometimes.
