statamind,

Close, very close. But the mirrors I need lack the bar extension from the mirror. My truck takes a mirror--and I have no idea how to describe or call these parts--my truck takes a mirror with one u-shaped bar, which attaches in two places with four bolts. Two bolts above the window; two bolts below the window. So I only have four total holes in both doors. There are, of course, two special l-shaped mounts that hold the bottom bolts in place. So no tripods, or other kindred mirrors will suffice. But those mirrors, as far as I can tell, look darn close to what I need. Even the mounts look like the l-shaped ones I just described. CPNE has a picture at the top of the thread with a truck that I believe has the matching mirrors I'm looking for. But I have no idea who is the owner of the truck.

I'm beginning to think I'm screwed. Nevertheless, I can't thank you guys enough for your help. I'm honestly blown away by all the suggestions and offers.

Shane
