I second pics was the mirror in the truck and it did not fit, but the 67 in the first pic fit like a glove. Here is the mirror that I take out of the truck.
It is a crappy pic, but you get the idea.

Yeah, I'm looking for a '67-style day/night mirror, but that second picture is not one of them them. It's way too long...definitely from a different application.

Somebody help me out here. The '67s have a rear view mirror that screws into the cab roof and also acts as the "thing" that holds the visors in the center, and the '68-'72 ones glue onto the windshield? My truck has no rear view. Would one from a '67 screw right in and replace the thing for the visors?

Well, they seem to be around, but I have yet to find one in good shape. Mine is pitted pretty bad and all that I have seen are in the same condition.

I'm gonna add that to my wanted list. It would be nice to have a rear view. I have to drive my truck like a big truck, with side mirrors only.
