Rhapakatui Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 My first Datsun 620 back in the day had an awesome side mirror. It was chrome, about 3x4, mounted at the front of the door. I loved it. When my parents junked the truck, they asked if I wanted anything off of it. As this was over the phone, I just had to try and remember, having not seen the truck in about a year. I got them to keep my steering wheel and rims but not my mirror. Now, I have two new trucks. One I want to do mostly custom or after market, and one I want to keep true to '75. I want my old mirror for my '75 but can't find one. So, today I was scouring the interweb for one like it for sale when I found this http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=Mirrors and about crapped my pants. My mirror was this one Its almost to the bottom of the page and its listed at a crazy price. What kinda mirrors do you guys have? At the moment I have one mirror between two trucks and it blows. Big giant trailor hauling thing that the dealership prolly stuck on there to make the truck more useful... worst part is, there are two screws plugging the holes where my old mirror would have fit, so I know that some guy back in '75 pulled my mirror off and chunked it to put on that giant POS.

pharouh Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I had a set of those around '77. Bought then from the local Datsun dealer. About $20 probably. I want a set now!!! Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 The same mirror was originally in dark gray, then in silver. The chrome ones may have been an option (or maybe just on the later 620s). Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Dunno, mine was a '76 so I'm guessing it was an option. I haven't been researching long. Just know I hate the trailer mirrors. Didn't find a thread for mirrors on here. Wanted to see some stock, or period correct options, and figured it would be a chance to show off what people have. How common are those mirrors in grey and silver? Could always get one and have it chromed P.s. I plan to run a stainless peep mirror on the kc. Anybody got anybody got any cool after market options?

ggzilla Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 They silver or gray ones you can buy brand new from Nissan. Or I should say I bought 'em two years ago. Quote Link to comment
mr68gts Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 My 76 has always had the square chrome mirrors. now I'm not sure if the passenger one was added at the dealer or not. (probably added the passenger one as my dad PDI"D the truck when my uncle bought it from the dealer he worked at.) And it still has em to this day. Paul Quote Link to comment
420n620 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 They silver or gray ones you can buy brand new from Nissan. Or I should say I bought 'em two years ago. I contacted Nissian dealer couple of days ago and they are NLA. want to sell a gray right one ???? Quote Link to comment

Rhapakatui Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I'd be interested in a chrome driver's side one for sure. Don't plan on having a passenger side mirror. Sorry on the slow reply. I kinda forgot about this thread. What you want for it? Quote Link to comment

Eric Garside Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 i want those carbon fiber ones those are sick!! x2 anyone know of a place to buy them? Quote Link to comment
GOLSETH Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I just installed these Bullet style mirrors. Got a pair of them for 100 bucks! They look great IMO but they are worthless as mirrors. They sit too low and id move them up but right now they mounted using my previous mirrors holes. Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I have 2 sets, I'll post the link in a second. There not datsun mirrors, but they are old school cast iron mirrors... http://community.ratsun.net/topic/16402-bunch-of-cheap-crap/page__gopid__408274#entry408274 Quote Link to comment
jankdank Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 I know this thread is super old, but curious about possibly interchanging the rear view mirror from 620 to the 521. I can't find a mirror for my 521 online, but the 620 looks like it maybe could fit. Does anyone know for sure if it will? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 I have always gotten rid of the stock mirror. Instead I get one of those 'glue on' mirrors from a newer car. The one in my 710 has two map reading lights that also turn on when the door opens. Most also have a lever to dim the reflection at night. Very handy. Quote Link to comment
