Hi all,I need some advice on some factory style extended mirrors. I put a truck camper on her & a larger mirror would help make things a bit easier. If I went salvage yard hunting would I be able to find a good used set? Are there many trucks that had them. Seems like most the 2nd gens running around here have the small stock ones.What should I look out for? Easy install? Any aftermarket ones to stay away for or that you would recommend?Thanks,Dave

Dave, Unfortunately, you'll be pretty lucky to find them in a junk/salvage yard, just because they're sought-after. I've been looking in salvage yards around here for about 9 months, and haven't seen a single tow mirror yet..

Well I just checked discountautomirrors and they have the same mirrors for about $20 cheaper! I wish I would've known about them a week ago:banghead:

Where did you get them from? Did they come with brackets? CSM - do you need brackets? (I've been trying to get rid of my extra set :whistle:)

CSM - do you need brackets? (I've been trying to get rid of my extra set :whistle:)

Nope. I have a set on the truck... do you need an extra set of mirrors? :lmao:

Wow thanks guys, just the info I was going for.:hyper: I will study the prices. So the $228.oo set seems to be the least expensive. Are they just plug & play?:thumb1:

Dave:thumbup2:

If you want power, heated, and have the wiring for it, then as long as you have the brackets then yes, its plug and play.

If you don't have the wiring, get manual mirrors for way less $$$.

They are only available in primer & do not include me year, 1998. Wonder if the plug would be different?

Thanks,

Dave

Would you happen to have a pic or two of you mirrors in reg & towing position?

Can't tell from the ad pic if this the correct one.

Thanks,

Dave

I bought some from these guys last week to replace the manual ones and they are very nice... came with all hardware aside from the sheetmetal brackets.

Thanks got mine in the mail a few days ago, have not put them on yet. Still snowing here!!!!!!!!!!!!

They look like a real quality item, thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Not sure about the plugs, they say they are primered but they are just black plastic identical to the oem mirrors. Here is a pic of mine

Now that youve had your mirrors for a few weeks how do you like them? Anything you dont like about em? Do they look like the oem style or are they a little different?
