Mirrors.... anbody Moved'm to the vent window location

[CowboyProtectionUnit]

SO...... I've Got the Ugly Rust Causing Tripod Camper Style Mirrors on my 88 GMC Crew Cab Dually.... and I Would love to get rid of them and put mirrors in the Vent window locations.....Any One Done this..... I'm Not Concerned About Brand (GMC/Chevy, Dodge or Ford) Customization Isn't an Issue... Cause I Can Handle That... Heres What I'm Looking at (all the Following are the HEAVY DUTY MIRROR STYLE) the 07 or Newer GMC/Chevy, The Folding Dodge Mirrors, and When ever Ford Changed from the 94-96 F-150 Body Style Superduty to the Current Superduty

ME " I wanna Swap Out the Tripod Mirrors On The Truck... With Mirrors Placed in the Vents..... I know What I Want But Not the Exact Years of The Vehicles..... I'm looking for 07 or Newer GMC/Chevy heavy Duty Mirrors The Dodge Foldable Heavy Duty Mirrors, and the Heavy Duty Mirrors From a Ford Superduty.... I'm Just trying to get prices" Parts Guy "sorry Guy I can't help ya... WE have a Self Service area you can Come and pull parts from...." ME "I told you all The Mirrors off the Chevy/Gmc are 07 or newer.... I know about the U-pull-it.... them vehicles are 10yrs old or OLDER... and I'm Not sure bout the years the folding Mirrors are on the Dodge's or The Extending Mirrors on The Ford Super Duty's........" Parts Man "Well when ya get the info ya need call back"

I am in the process of installing some custom mirrors also, not in the triangle window tho. Totally possible i say about 10-15 hrs. of work. heres wut you need to do. get some sheet metal and make a template of the folding triangle window opening . cut the shet metal to that size tack along the edges, fit the mirror copy trace bolt pattern, grind tacks bondo and glaze then screw mirrors. Good idea should look good.

[CowboyProtectionUnit]

yeah I figured that it wasn't that difficult....... I just gotta get some fundage and decide which mirror's will look best

[KC712]

did you ever get them installed? how do they look?

[LOW1TON]

here is my version, one peice products vent less window kit and the I moved the factory 89-91 suburban/blazer mirrors forward I think it worked out good.

[KC712]

yeah man its looks real nice i like you Dually man! i havent had any luck finding them mirrors though. How are those one piece windows?? any good? seal good??

[LOW1TON]

windows are great, seal up good, install was a b-tch took forever to get them adjusted to what I thought was correct. I have an extra set of these mirrors that are new old stock but you are correct they are hard to come by.

[KC712]

Thanks man I was planning on using them because it will cost about the same to replace both vent windows..plus i like the one piece styling better

[MCCLELLAN103]

that dually is so nasty, seen it at the carbondale car show. Is that window kit the same as the one piece brothers sales?

[LOW1TON]

yes sir same kit. Only one company makes it everyone else distributes it. Thanks for the nice comments next time you see me stop and say hi!

[MCCLELLAN103]

will do hopefully mines done by that time next year. not to jack the thread but do you know the suspension specs on the red shortwide that was beside you at the car show.

[CowboyProtectionUnit]

its all Good Guys!!! LOL

[KC712]

hey just one quick question for you low1ton. idk if you tow with your truck but hows the visibility with them mirrors?? past them big dually fenders? thanks again man for you input

[LOW1TON]

The red truck is my buddies and it is a mix of different parts if I told you I knew I would be lying but for a static drop it sits perfect. As for towing with these mirrors I have not. But they would work great moved forward on the door makes them easy to see and they are wide so you have good visual with them.

Low1ton, that's awesome!

I have a set of Hummer H3 mirrors I was trying to use on mt 72, but they dont fit the contour of the door... They will probably fit on the 73-87 doors and clear the vent windows...

[nekkidhillbilly]

i have been looking at some new chevy van mirrors or motor home mirrors for when i build the crew idk how it would look but i looks like i can adapt them to the oem doors buy modding the base or using the oem base.

[nekkidhillbilly]

would be like towing mirrors on a new truck and it post mounts so i sure you can use it

[nekkidhillbilly]

these could work also may be a little big but i have seen some smaller on rvs and buses

[SeanPaintsFlames]

I was thinking about Honda Fit mirrors- they seem to fit the contour of the doors up high pretty well.

[CowboyProtectionUnit]

yeah Those are both Options..... but Not the Look I'm Going for......

[c10sport]

Not mine, saw it in a salvage auction.

Have you not tried elephant ears? They adjust easy and make a great cup holder at a party. as long as you have a grease on the holes they won't rust.

If you want to go further with the "Dumbo" mirrors and don't mind doing some wiring work, you can grab a set of power ones from a 1991-95 G van or a similar year Dodge truck or van.
