Cool Mirror Swap

[anubisani]

just get a couple tubes bent that have more length than the stock tubes. Or get creative and make it telescoping. Stock looking for no trailer, and you can extend em out when you hook up.

i thught about that , but that would mean taking apart the mirror head , would the glass have to come out ??

no thanks

I'll stick with my Dumbos and I love my vents. The wing windows and their function are one of the reasons I love these trucks.

I'm in the "love my wing windows" crowd. I never have them closed so I never give them a chance to whistle

I guess you never folded them all the way out to blow dry the family jewels, it feels good.

those mirrors look horrible when on a truck. a friend of mine put them on his dually thinking that they would look around the giant headache rack of his flatbed and they sucked. he ended up with the big 5 point mirrors that mount above and bellow hte window.

I'm with you they make a big differance, untill a damn bee gets sucked in them and is implanted into your crotch and pissed off lol

I like Mine vent windows for all of the above reasons,about them bees,well,thats just all a part of the legacy and fun.
I have a 93 GMC with the solid side windows,it is lacking in that I cant crack open a vent window and suck the smoke off a mine cigamettes right out,I crack open a side window of the 93 just far enough,or a bit wider,and ,You talk about wind a howlin,it really sucks,or blows,depends on which way the wind is coming from.

THE DODGE MIRRORS ARE ONLY $140 A PAIR, SO I MIGHT get them and see what i can do to make it work

Please do a write up while fabbing this conversion so`s if anyone wants to repeat it,well, it`ll make it a lot easier for them,maby Mee too.

Dodge Tow Mirrors

Just found these on a site the other day, and figured that you guys would like them. They are Dodge Tow Mirrors on a Square. I'd do a one piece window with a plate over the front for them rather than a delete plate for the wing windows, but still looks pretty sick!

Oh my... the hood on the truck is the exact thing I have been pondering recently. Take the natural beauty lines and extend them up a couple of inches rather than a traditional cowl hood. Only thing I would do different is have more of a lead in angle instead of a straight face. Interesting...

I was thinking the same. I like the look, but I think I would skip the intake. Just bump the whole hood up and leave it at that. I'm thinking like a cross of the newer 2500/3500HD hoods and ours.

Most definitely skip the fake intake! I have been on the look out for a "cheap" hood locally to play with. Cut out the center of the donor hood and graft it on. In my head I think it might look good, but I am still not 100% sure.

 

[da_raabi]

I just wish I knew where that guy found that hood, even my wife said "thats mean looking"!!!

 

[HighTechRedneck]

Yeah, the hood does look pretty sweet, I've got to say that. I wonder what it would look like from the driver's seat, maybe like one of those newer Duramax hoods. I would be interested to see how it's done, but for some reason, I can't find it anywhere on the internet, even when searching by image.

Would definitely be a good way to make the truck stand out from the rest!

 

[oopsman_09]

i like it but dont like the wing window delete.

 

[84k20Northern]

Anyone have any luck in finding that hood?
