Mirrors
I have a 98 1500 and want to put the new style mirrors, the ones that flip out, on my truck. I was wondering if anyone on here has either done this or thought about doing it. I think I should be able to find a set of decent mirrors at a junkyard or something. I hope to get some good info.

I believe the only change between the 2nd and 3rd Gen towing mirrors are the mounting stud locations. If you can get around that, the mirrors are otherwise identical. There is a 2001 1500 Ram I always see near my work that has them, and I see a red Chevy 2500 ('03-'07 body style) that has them always going past my house in the morning, so if you can fab up a way to mount them, you're good to go. Also, they were a stand-alone option (they didn't come with any package or anything), just a $100 option on their own. You could get them on a V6 Ram, and you could get a diesel 3500 with standard mirrors.

All you guys are wrong....03-up mirrors will not fit. If you saw them side by side, you would immediatly tell they are way different.
Now, they do make the flip-up mirrors for our 2nd gens, in both manual and power+heat. They are about $330 a SET, not piece.
