Just bought the third gen flip up mirrors for my pickup. Just wondering if there is any special bracket that i need to purchase to install them.

 

there is a small triangular bracket that you can purchase from the dealer or aftermarket that "sandwich" the door to add more strength. did you buy aftermarket or oem? I put a set of aftermarket on my fathers truck (99 heated & power) and he loves them,alot better then the slide over clip on trailer mirrors

 

Third gen flip up tow mirrors on a 2nd gen?

Pics of finished product please?

 

I will when i get them on. yes they are aftermarket with a twist. the only sell manual ones for 94 to 98.5. so i bought these and a set for a 2008 so i could have power and heat. then you just change the brackets and do some wiring and then put them on.

 

oh... you doing the buy 2 sets and make one thing. from what I hear its pretty easy to do. If I had the extra $200 that's what I'd do too!


Now you got me thinkin, I may do this also. I want power .

After a bit of research I am going to do this aswell!

 

sweet deal. we had them on our one ton until my buddy rolled it pulling 15 ton of hay and just messed the truck up.

 

you guys know you can buy them through kool vue for a 2001 and there is no buying two sets and making one. Also they are the flip up style towing mirrors and power heated.

 

What freak said they sell 98.5 -02 power heated which fit all 2nd gen im saving up for them now, there on ebay as well.

 

Yes they do but by my understanding they wont fit on a second gen 12 valve. That is why you have to buy the two sets.

 

a secound gen 12v is no different that a 2nd gen 24v on how the mirrors mount
