Side Mirror Date Code
 

Hi, if possible I'm looking for pictures of how the date code should look on a standard outside mirror on an Arlington built (if that matters) 1970 GTO Judge? I"ve seen some that say DMI and others DCA with R in a circle. Were there a couple manufactures of the mirrors at that time? Thanks

I looked at my 69 Arlington built June GTO and no date code at all. A) they didnt code them in 69 B) its a replaced mirror.

My understanding is that factory parts ALWAYS had dates;
As far as I am aware, even GM replacement parts still had date codes.

It might not be an A-body part, but in my quest for date coded mirrors for my car, I came across many later 1970's dated NOS mirrors for F-bodies (still complete and in the box).

I have always understood that mirrors without dates were aftermarket replacements.

I believe there is a web page that a Yenko(?) guy created to disseminate GM glass & mirrors.

I haven't seen any DCA marked mirrors, only the ones shown attached. Anyone know the company JC stands for?

oh!
I should maybe add this:
I have a Mopar mirror here - I cannot recall the application right now, but believe it's a 1966 date code;
It reads: 5-DMI-6

This is what I have on my 9C Arlington built Judge. If anyone knows the date code, please let me know. I have no clue…

12-DMI-1

December - 1971

an early life replacement.

Thanks

JC may be west coast, like rim manufacturers are [N(T) vs. K].

Or, Canadian.

gto4ben, what is your build plant?

Fremont

My 68 GTO (Fremont 05A) original remote mirror is dated 11-DMI-7

My 10D Fremont built 1970 GTO remote mirror is dated 7 JC 9.

By these post’s (and the date spreads on the parts), I am guessing that remote mirror’s weren’t a common option.

Looking at my 69 GTO PHS collection (almost 1,250) the 42- remote mirror is at about a 45% take rate. It was also part of the option load on all the pattern judges
