4 point mirror help

My neighbor threw a rock while mowing his yard that busted one of my mirrors.


I'm trying to find a suitable replacement for either the one individual mirror, or a set to replace all 4 mirrors, but am not having a lot of luck finding direct replacements with these mountings... Any help?

That convex mirror looks like a generic aftermarket piece and should be available at most auto parts stores.

You'd think so, but I can't find any that have that rear "ball" mount...

Those are referred to as "West Coast" mirrors. You can find many styles at a big rig service shop like Cummins Northwest etc.

Question

Hello, I have been searching the internet to find replacement mirrors for our truck. We just got my dad's 96 ram and it had the SAME mirrors as yours (minus the round ones). I was wanting to know if someone knew what the make/model/nickname is for the rectangle mirrors in the pictures.
Wherever I look online, I could only find 3-point brackets, but we have the same 4-point mounts that you do. It's the only one I've been able to find of that sort.

What happened was that the glass broke out of the drivers mirror so we were gonna put the PS mirror onto the DS. I loosened the one bolt that screws into the bottom of the mirror head and got the DS mirror head off. The PS, well, I guess it was so rusted shut that when my husband tried to loosen it with all his might, the bolt broke. The PS head fell to the ground and the mirror broke in that one too! I was trying to see what they are called so I can look up how much they are to replace. Since it obviously is gonna be a little bit before we get to the mirrors, I ended up taking the 4-point mount off the PS door. a) because it can't be used with a bolt stuck in it, and b) PS aren't needed for inspection.

Any help on this would be appreciated! Thank you!

You can take the mirror to any glass shop they can replace the mirror glass.
