Ok I have searched and searched but I can't find the answer I am looking for. The mirrors on my truck are too small, I don't really want the west coast (I guess thats what their called) that I have seen on some duallys around here.
Any suggestions on what I can do?


Thanks for any input, Johnny

im not sure how he did this, or if it would actually fit, but i seen a 2500 truck in your body style, with the dual-post mirrors that came on the 01-03? trucks, the old manual camper mirrors. like i said, im not sure how this worked, but it actually looked factory. if that is the case, then you might want to consider the new camper mirrors. i guess they are considered "west coast style" to some, but not the type you are talking about. im assuming those are the metel ones, that came on the mason bodys?
if you know someone in the area with a newer body style, like mine, you caould see if the mirrors fit on yours, if they do, your in luck! but if they dont, or you dont want those, i guess your S.O.L., sorry

Thanks for the reply and I will look in to them, yea the ones I am calling west coast is the chrome or stainless steel ones that have the long arms that bolt like halfway down the door. I had an old '85 dually before this one and it had them mirrors, thier good for seeing behind you but they are hard on the doors, ny doors where busted all up from them big mirrors.

i know what you mean, my uncle's cousin has a coupla mason dumps with them mirrors, the doors are starting to rust a little around the mounting bolts, and a little dented by them too. keep me posted as to what you find, im kinda interested about the fitment of them, just for general knowledge. good luck
