It appears just about everyone on this site is partial to the "below eye level mirrors".

Probably because any other alternative (except the small square deals and the tow mirrors with the small 3 point mounts) are hideous.

These little guys are factory, this is what i got now, and by the way, just went back to the stainless. Before and after.

Why do these little square ones look so good here:

Honestly the smaller tripod ones would look good on a multitude of trucks. But the smaller the mirror, the more appealing the truck is too-which is probably why that bonanza looks so good. But I like the west coasts mirrors on the crew cab duallys big truck just needs them big mirrors

Plus I'm not a fan of chrome, accents is fine. My truck will will get painted mirrors and rear step bumper-maybe a billet grille if I can't find a decent GMC grille for reasonable money

Try to go with a factory grill. I'm not a big chrome fan either, in fact, i started to go with white accents...rims, mirrors, bumpers. But something wasnt right. So i'm back to original chrome bumpers, but stainless oem mirrors and factory white steel rims and the dog dish hub caps. I sure would like the hub caps on that bonanza, where can ya find those full size ones??

On my c10, the "dumbo" mirrors are acceptable to me, smaller than that and they might as well not be there. I prefer the west coast mirrors on my k20 and my 99 c3500hd, but dont see myself needing the extra visibility bad enough to install them on the c10.

Yeah, not sure what it is but those western style mirrors are really nice looking on the right truck/setup.
