There was an OEM-looking pull-out towing mirror for these trucks. They are still around, let me see if I can find a picture.

Re: 83 side mirrors ???
This the style I am referring to. I have seen them on ebay occasionally and in junkyards. Who knows, maybe someone here has a set for sale.

Re: 83 side mirrors ???
I have been wondering if they make extensions that you can put on over the factory ones. Kind of like they do for the newer trucks.
