Did the CJ3A have the 5" round mirror or something different such as mine it haf a chrome square one with the chrome telecoping stem and all, but I'm thinking maybe it came off a wagon or truck ? Or could this too have been an option?

Thanks Nate, so to your knowledge there were no square ones that you know of?

Inside mirror is rectangular.. I have a pic of a NOS one in the NOS thread.

Rectangular outside mirrors are pretty cool for visibility if you can get one that isn't too heavy. Those round ones can seem pretty tiny sometimes. My main problem with the rearview mirrors is the ones I have tend to shake a lot. The farther out on aftermarket arms you have them the worse it gets.
