Tow mirrors on K20

[tdub209]

I have seen the idea thrown around a bit and a few have messed with it, but has anyone done a tow mirror swap with newer GM style mirrors on their square body? i'm willing to delete my wing window so that's not a problem for me. if anyone has done it or has info please let me know and share for other users as well.

I would think it would look awful too.

Don't necessarily need to lose your vent window. Here is how I saw one way of mounting...

Didn't see a full shot of the whole truck that showed the mirrors however.

What kind of mirrors do you have now? I have the original "tripod" mirrors, with the smaller mounts, that I use some flat stock extensions when I need them wider. Two bolts per side and done. And I keep the stock look.

i have the original chrome mirrors, but so limited to what i can see with them. i personally don't like the tri-pod or bugger style mirrors either nor do i want to bolt more into my door. so i was curious if anyone has put like 2000-newer gm mirrors on them yet.

i have the chrome stock ones and need more room to see, but don't like the tripods. nor do i like how they mounted those. guess i'll have to play with it my self and see what i can come up with

Keep us posted. I'd like to see what you end up with. I have contemplated putting a set of super duty tow mirrors on mine, but that's much further down my priority list at the moment.
