I need to replace the passenger side mirror on my 1980 Datsun King Cab 720. Any idea where I can get one? What are good resources for parts for this truck. I've only owned it for a few weeks.

thanks,Justin

Rockauto.com is good for those type of items, looks like it is around $12.95

I've been eyeing some on ebay...around $25 for the pair. I've found both black and chrome for my 80. Nice truck BTW. Much like mine.

thanks for the link to rockauto.com. It had mirrors, but not the whole thing. Here is a pic of the one I have on the driver side. Just need one for the passenger side.

Supererogator, thanks. You got a nice looking truck yourself. Did you see this kind of side mirror or the smaller ones on yours. I'm beginning to wonder if mine are an after market, but I don't see holes where the small ones like yours would go. Hmmm...

Yours are flared out much more than any I have seen. May be after-market for towing a camping trailer, or just and option I have not seen. The ones I saw were like mine. I have been looking because mine are rattely to say the least.

I wonder if the top part of these after market mirrors are using the holes designed for the original mirrors. Does the placement look about the same on yours, the top holes I mean?

To my memory, it looks close. I will try to go look tomorrow in the light and get back here.
