any door from 73-87(91) will fit, it's the inners that are a little different...

robertspangler · 12-09-2008, 06:02 PM

what would i have to do .

joe231 · 12-09-2008, 06:08 PM

77-up are the same.

robertspangler · 12-09-2008, 08:10 PM

so these are just bolt on right?

joe231 · 12-09-2008, 08:14 PM

yep.
are they power?
is your truck currently power?

robertspangler · 12-09-2008, 08:16 PM

my truck is curently not power, and im not sure if they are or not, what if they are

joe231 · 12-09-2008, 08:41 PM

you will need the power window/lock harness that runs from door to door under the dash along with the power lock relay. it is all plug and play

here is a thread with some info

Those doors have factory power mirrors...NICE find.

77-91 doors are identical, 73-76 are different on the inside (along with the guts).

joe231 · 12-09-2008, 09:48 PM

dang Jeff, are you clairvoyant, or do you just have ESPN?

turbotank · 12-10-2008, 03:04 PM

You gotta tell me what those came off of!!! They look like they have the later style sail mirrors on them!! Must have come from a 90-91 blazer suburban. I didn't know they came factory on those,always thought they had dumbos!!! Lemme know.

robertspangler · 12-10-2008, 03:40 PM

they are off of a 91 suburban
what does everybody think these are worth, they are asking 100 EACH i offered 150 for the pair i will find out soon if they accepted.

bigblock73 · 12-10-2008, 05:12 PM

$150 a pair is a smokkin deal. I personally would have no problem paying $150-200 for each if I needed them and they were in as nice of condition as they appear. I have seen the mirror setups go for 200 and up on eBay!

**Captkaos** · 12-10-2008, 06:51 PM

Definitely worth it. They were available on the late 89-91 Suburban and Blazers with Silverado trim. They were also an option.

robertspangler · 12-10-2008, 07:56 PM

Sweet!!! They just took 150 for the pair and they are power everything, so i have to figure out all the wiring i need, wish i had some pictures of where the wire is on this.

robertspangler · 12-10-2008, 09:08 PM

i have a question, since these are out of a suburban, wont they have the power switches to roll like the rear windows down. well i realy dont want those so do they make a switch plate that only has the front windows/

powerdriver 1958 · 12-10-2008, 09:17 PM

I had to go look and see if mine were there,these are off a later model burb also.100 bucks and electric but plain mirrors

robertspangler · 12-10-2008, 09:33 PM

identical other then the mirrors, these are in the town i live in to boot so like 5 or 10 min away from me, i just hope that i can figure out how to install them.

powerdriver 1958 · 12-10-2008, 11:36 PM

hanging them is not hard but the wiring will take time time.Maybe we can go though it together.mine has electric doors already but was added and that wiring will come out

robertspangler · 12-10-2008, 11:54 PM

do they not hang in the stock spot?

joe231 · 12-11-2008, 12:01 AM

just go to the junk yard and get you a power window/lock harness, and a double window switch for the drivers door, (you might also need the wiring from a pick up door not sure)

turbotank · 12-11-2008, 12:12 AM

Yeah,that was the first time I had ever seen those mirrors on one of our trucks!!! I wonder,will they bolt in the same place as the dumbos? I have always liked that newer style of mirror,folds right out of the way easy!

**thinair** · 12-11-2008, 09:01 AM

if you bolt them in the same spot,you would not be able to open the wing windows

huh?

bigblock73 · 12-11-2008, 09:47 AM

The power mirrors are moved to the rear of the door slightly so that you can open the vent windows. If they were bolted in the same place as the dumbos, it would prevent the vent window from opening because they sit closer to the glass than the dumbos.
