Do C bodies use the same outside mirrors as other MOPAR bodies?

[Henrius]

I needed to replace the driver's side mirror on my 1965 Plymouth Fury III, and would like to add a passenger side mirror at the same time.

1. I see plenty of reproduction mirrors advertised for sale for A and B bodies, but none for C bodies. Do all body styles share the same outside mirrors?

2. There seem to be two styles of mirrors for the time period. One has a single short wide support, and the other has longer twin supports. Were these variants within the same model year?

3. Are right and left mirrors mirror images of each other, or are they exactly the same?

Thanks for any help! Links to correct mirrors for sale would help.

The details varied from year to year.
Typically if you had a remote driver mirror the right mirror would be the same style but not remote
I believe the non remote mirrors were the same on both side.

I cannot comment on the compatibility of the earlier mirrors as I haven't research them.

Thanks for this, although it is mainly about 66s.

There are tons of mirrors repros available online market '66. What changed after 1965? One of the '66 single post mirrors look exactly like the one on my 1965 Fury.

Sure don't want to have differing mirrors on either side!

Here's the mirror page from the '65 Mopar Accessory catalog. The 1970 Hamtramck Registry - 1965 Chrysler Accessories - Parts Manager's Catalog Slideshow

Basically, it shows the same part number in an accessory mirror across the model lines except Imperial. This would be the source for a mirror if your car didn't have one and you wanted the dealer to install one on your new car.

Thanks. The damaged one on my 1965 looks like the Match-mate.

Guess that twin-pillared one not pictured on this page began to be offered in 1966. But I might go rogue and put it on my 1965.

Never seen one that resembles the conical on any Mopar. Must not have been popular.

Funny thing in one photo of a remote mirror it was mounted on the fender instead of the door, and the control was placed under the dash instead of on the inside door panel.

When you say twin-pillared, do you mean the one I show below? That was an older mirror, used on the '62 I owned, and earlier. This particular one I found on a '65 Imperial at a junk yard. I flipped it upside down and used it on the passenger side until i found a real passenger side one.

This side-by-side pillar was indeed for the Imperial. The twin pillar for the Fury was one pillar in front of the other. Although in catalogs, I have never seen them on the cars. I reviewed some photos of Furies for sale today and they all had single pillar ones.

Chrysler used the twin-pillared ones too; they were on my '62. Should say, one was, I added the passenger side.
