Most of the 2nd gen Camaro mirrors don't have the studs sticking out of the stem. They have a screw in the glass side of the stem that uses a bracket that attaches to the door and the screw goes thru it to bolt it to the bracket. I said most, I think some of the very early 2nd gens used a stem from another car. I have one set that has short stems (same height as a normal 2nd gen) with studs but the glass is larger like the Chevelle mirrors. I think these mirrors are originally for a 70-72 Chevelle, but I'm not positive.
I have done a bunch of research on these but I am by no means an expert. The more desirable one's, from what I have seen are from the 73-77 Chevelle. These can be easily recognized by the adjustment actuator (the part that mounts in the door panel). The actuators are at a 90 degree angle, usually with a black knob and a white plastic piece where the cables attach.
The 74-87 GM cars with these mirrors have the larger glass but the stem is also taller and at a more agressive angle. These are plentiful.
As far as installing either of these on a 69...it all depends on the placement on the door. The stems with studs will be more challenging than the stems without studs. On the stemmed versions you have to decide your placement, drill the holes and then massage to fit. Just take your time on fitting them. Some trimming of the stem is required to make sure that you get the angle of the bullet part level...I know leveling a radius doesn't make since.lol I mean you want to try and make the ellpise's smaller radii on the edges set at the same level or as much as possible. You will be the final judge on this.
I hope this helps, but again I am no expert. Just my $.02.
