Default 29 open cab pickup side mirror

Searching but no luck for a pic of the original mirror. Presently have a shiny stainless repop that screws into one of the windshield stanchion screw holes that I don’t particularly like. Can someone post a pic or point me in the right direction ?
Thanks.

I don't know about Canadian OC but US built did not have a side mirror.

Well that explains my problem in finding a pic. Pickup came from the US originally as well.

I recently bought a re-pop mirror from Snyders or Brattons (can't remember which) that screws into the upper stanchion screw hole on my '29 OCPU. But I found that the stalk was so short that rear vision was obscured by the canvas top. Then when I made a longer stalk I found that the mirror ball did not rotate enough for me to see behind. The next step is to lengthen the short stalk so the ball can rotate at a greater angle. It was disappointing to have to do all that to something supposedly able to be used "off the shelf".

I made two up for my 28 pickup.
I used the snyders mirror head and made my own stalk.
let me know if you want a pick

Thanks.

My 30 has a black mirror, as long has been in my family. Was told that black door hinge style was as original, along with black headlights, cowl band, and radiator shell, no rear bumper. Do not know if all this is true. I believe some of the vendors parts lists , list the black hinge mount mirror as being for pickups.
