Hey all happy holidays wondering what the options are for side view mirror replacements I have a 78 and the mounting bolts look like they don't fit anything even the Ramco's bilt pattern. I'm wondering has anyone found something that will bolt onto the existing mounting bolts/nuts? I see on applied site there is an option for 78 GMC how's the base machine? Is it just drilled out? Does anyone have a picture of what they look like before mounting? Does the mount look clean or is it evident that they've been modified?

I have had Ramcos for years. They the fit with no modifications. I assume that still offer them. Ask Jim K. for sure.

Both my coaches have/had Ramcos. The 23' never had the wires hooked up. I didn't realize they were electric till I took the plate off the arm and found the wires. I assume the NO (Next Owner, in this case Mike Briere) put a switch or two on the armrest and is using them.

There were arms for the Ramco mirrors made for the GMC
JmK maybe the only source, other than a parts coach.
Velerac (sp?) is another excellent brand.
These after market parts are hard to find.

I just wish the arms would fold in as well if you need to get through a narrow spot, but I think they're the best out there and the remote control is nice to have when adjusting your side view mirrors.

I will try to remember to look at the 78 that is parked in my hangar. Then I'll go next door and look at my 76 parked in that hangar. It will be a couple of days before I am out there.
