Default Towin mirrors

Well when i bought the truck i didnt get the towin mirrors. and i do a good amount of towin and havin the mirrors would be a big help. But would the factory towin mirrors fit if the truck came with the regular mirrors??

'06-'07 classic like those are plug and play. Great mirrors too I put them on my '05 in exchange for those power extending mirrors. Huge difference. You'll like them.

I ordered them from GMPartsdirect.com Put both mirrors on in less than 1 hr. Just plug and play. It takes longer to get the door panel off to make the plugs on the bottom of the window controller.
When you do change them, I suggest that you check the bolts twice before putting the tools up.

Huge difference. blind spots are gone and if you tow a big travel trailer, you can see all the way from the top of the trailer down to the tires.

X2! I could not spot small cars that were flanking me when I had the old extendable mirrors. Nearly ran right over one. Highly recommend them!
