I've been wanting to put super duty mirrors on mine. The only way I could figure doing it is pull the wing window out and replacing it with some sort of mounting bracket for the new mirror. only problem is covering the mounting bolts inside the cab so you dont have to look at a bunch of nuts from the mirror.

I had thought about mounting SD mirrors on an OBS truck. Same way too. But the more I thought about it, I'd have to see it first. Plus, that little window is nice to have sometimes.

Here's the "west coast style" mirrors on an F350

There are pics floating around online of mirrors from an 05 grafted onto an obs, it's pretty ugly and would create a huge blind spot, I'll see if I can find them.

Looking around I found some pics of Dodge tow mirrors put on an OBS truck. I don't think it looks too bad, odd, but not bad. When they are flipped out, they look really high, flipped down, not so much. But that could be because the truck is lifted too.

I wonder how the view is with them. I'm not a big fan of the dodge mirrors though. I really prefer the way the SD ones are set up. These dodge ones almost drive my eyes nuts. Maybe im just not as used to them
