Chevy tow mirror

[01cummins4ever]

Looks like they fit good, definitely a good option

Here's what it took to mount the chevy mirrors. Fit them on my spare door then made a pattern off the factory mirror bolt holes. Used a divider page from the kids school notebook. Center punched holes then used a Unibit. Small amount of trimming to front edge of plastic trim on mirror. Mirror has raised stud mounts on it. They recess into the big holes so the mirror base has more surface area hitting door sheet metal. Oval hole is for wiring.

The mopar mirror braces never came...thanks Amazon. Drove it earlier and have zero vibration on DS and very small amount on PS. Less than the stock 95 mirrors i took off.

Is the sheet metal on door strong enough for the long run? 

[Gregturley]

Think so. Seems really stable. Ran 85-90 down interstate this am and they were clear, no real vibration i could see. I used nuts with captured washers when i Installed them.

Dodge seems to think their tow mirrors need them, I think I would put them on there. Of course this is just an opinion and we all know about opinions.

The braces finally arrived. I'll see about fitting them next time i have a panel off. Here's a couple of it finished.

Great job on the install and I am happy you like them. They do look odd but they are not on my truck.

 

What is on the dash, driverside?

Either a gauge pod or 1/2 a six pack.

@dripley thanks. Most people either like it of hate them on there. They are functional but different.

Three gauge pod. Just sitting there for now. Ran out of room on the pillar. Going to build in a 4 gauge mount of some kind when i do the dash.

Kind of thought that is what it was but it looks odd from the street side. Run one myself but different.

 

I figure if I do something to my truck and it serves me well, I am happy. Those that dont like it dont have to ride in it.

My feelings also.
