    Default Outside door mirrors

    The door mirrors on the 715, are they round or square originally?

    I had one mirror head on my truck when I got it and it was square and approximately 5X8 or so. It appears to have had OD on it under the black paint on it now.

    All the pictures I see of original 715's seem to be round mirrors. Any thoughts?

    I appreciate the info!

    I actually went to my local NAPA and found a set of mirror heads that look almost identical except they have four ribs stamped into the back for reinforcement. Once O.D. ed, they will look perfect.

    I'll post up the part numbers tomorrow.

    Hi:
    Just got my truck a few days ago, and, it to, has the mil-mirrors with a flat sidewys tab, (not the correct one) but heafty non the less.....since the brackets are already on the door, and are real cheap to replace with the mil units I think for now I'll spend my dough in other places

    It is P/N 19207 mirror, glass 4 truck cargo amb
    they are generally dated around 1986 or so....
    I've got a dozen or so of them...picked them up on a deal months ago.
    BUT as they are 20 years old, right outta the box they have a few reflective (mirror paint) spots falling of in side of them...

    Is that 19207 part number from mil surplus or what?
    The reason I ask is that the parts manuals for mil vehicles use both the Federal Stock Number and a Reference Number to Id parts...the Reference number is from the manufacturer of the part...like say Dana on an axle part...then, there is a code to tell what the source of the part is...a Federal Supply Code for Manufacturers...For the M715 family, it would be one of these:


    Code____Manufacturer
    00000 Ordnance Corps
    04768 Stahl Metal Products, Division of Scott and Fetzer Co.
    08288 Military Supply Standards
    08302 Braden Winch Division of Braden Industries,Inc.
    10001 Naval Ordnance Systems Command
    11757 Dana Corp. Salisbury Div. — Chelsa Plant
    18265 Donaldson Co., Inc.
    19207 Army Tank-Automotive Command
    19728 The Prestolite Co., Division of Eltra Corp.
    23040 Ford Motor Co., Autolite Ford Parts Division
    24617 General Motors Corp.

    60038 Timken Roller Bearing Co.
    63477 Wagner Electric Corp., Wagner Division
    65909 Kaiser Jeep Corporation
    71500 Carter Carburetor, Division of ACF Industries, Inc.
    72447 Dana Corporation

    78385 Southwind, Division of Steward- Warner Corp.
    78940 United Air Cleaner, Division of Filtration Corp.
    78977 Unity Manufacturing Company
    80244 General Services Administration,Federal Supply Service
    81221 Neapco Products, Inc.
    81340 Military Specifications Promulgated by Standardization Div., Directorate of Logistic Services,DSA
    95019 Dana Corporation, Spicer Division
    96906 Military Standards Promulgated by Standardization Div., Directorate of Logistic Services, DSA


    Notice that 19207 is the manufacturer code for:

    Army Tank-Automotive Command


    This is a generic code for all the little things, misc screws, bolts, nuts, etc, AND for other things that are used on other military vehicles that werent purchased specifically for this vehicle but for widespread use across many military vehicles.


    Basically I am wondering if you are misreading the Manufacturer code as the part number...

    A 19207 manufacturer code is like saying misc. or undetermined...in most cases
