You will have to lose the wing windows and I personally think it will look beyond dumb...

Why give a good looking OBS dumbo ears?

Cause the OBS towing mirrors dont even help me see around my 24 foot sled trailer and the heat in the mirrors would be nice.

i hate the square ones. bit it would probably look a little better than the rounder style. but hell. i can't hardly see around my enclosed triton sled trailer. even with them pulled out.

Ya but they have alot more sight then the slide on mirrors and i got much money in sled to not see whats goin on around my trailer. Plus they got that little pocket mirror. I like the square ones better cause my truck is more square then your second gen. Plus it fits with my bumper and flatbed.

that's what i meant. square parts on a square body look better than a round part would. did they change the design from the 2008 style? but i got a ticket in my old pickup because" i couldn't see around my trailer" i had those big a$$ mirrors that are like a half of a west coast style that stick out 18" on each side. i wanted to read that cop the ryot act.

They did change them and if you aftermarket the duramax towing mirrors stretch out to 22 inches and boy do they help alot when my tows my trailer. I know a few guys that have put the dodge flip up mirrors on and i think that looks like crap.
