I'm looking to put a set of tow mirrors on my 86 C30 dually. I've found some saying they're from a square body but they look different from one another. Not sure what they're supposed to look like.

And sport mirrors for heck of it.

Sometimes there are bigger mirrors that look like something off a semi-truck not sure if those were ever used by the factory or were just aftermarket

There were those 3 and at least one more larger mirror option. Throw up a picture of what you found, they could be factory or could be aftermarket

There is the tripod style below eye level mirror like posted above and there is the larger "towing" mirror that mounts to almost the bottom of the doors.

And west coast mirrors.

I couldn't even find pictures of them they had a bracket at the top of the door above the window than one lower one below the window and a big rectangular mirror that attached and pivoted in between the upper and lower brackets, pretty sure they were probably some kind of aftermarket deal from like JC Whitney or some such.

Forgot about the tow/camper mirror with the longer legs don't see them that often but they are still made.

The 4 chrome ones pictured are the only OE options afaik.
The white California mirrors, did they ever come stock? That pic looks like they could be OE.
I 100% wanted to put those on the K20. Time was not on my side.
So I ended up with dumbos on the big K20 and the smaller bracket towing mirror on the BIG10. Wish that was opposite at least, but….

The West Coast mirrors are my favorite, especially on a K30 DRW.

My dually has the power mirrors. Pretty much useless but I think they're cool.

I had these on my '89 GMC and sold them with my '55 Dodge. The frames came from an old Ford at a wrecking yard, and I changed to a 16" x 9 mirror for big trucks (I worked at a Mack/Volvo dealer at the time). I am now searching for a set again.

West coast mirrors are where its at on a dually! I NEED these for mine, but impossible to find over here. Definitely go for the white painted v. the chrome if you can. Awesome ...
