o and i also heard a while back that those ebay fold out dont come with the reinforcement plates to put them on with. if u dont get these plates ur wasting ur time u might as well duct tape ur mirrors on to ur truck

 

I spent 250 shipped to my door fold out mirrors with brackets.

 

I think that's good advice to get the bolt on ones... As far as the backing plate goes, is it just a flat piece with holes, or is it contoured? I am about as cheap as cheap gets, and have some fabricating skills. If I can save a buck for the beer fund, then I get more beer!!!

Thanks for the replies. You have officially talked me outta the slip on ones. Now I just gotta see how cheap I can find the replacement towing ones. It would be a good time to find some, because I already have both inner door skins off.

 

ITs pretty much a flat pice of steel. This should give you an idea.

You got any links to those?

Anybody ever try these http://www.etrailer.com/Mirrors/****/11650.html? I like the idea of having them be quick release since I would rather not have towing mirrors sticking out all the time unless I'm actually towing something. For the life of me I can't figure out how these are suposed to fit on there unless the joints swivel.

discountautomirrors.com is where i got my manual ones. got them for 148 shipped. i made my own backing plate out of 1/8" steel and they dont vibrate at all.

 

Thanks for the link. sry for the late reply.

 

Has anyone got the heated and electric ones and took there stock wiring and adapted it too work, I have the chrome ones with just the power, not heated and was trying to figure out how hard it was to setup
