mirrors, why keep those things

LOHRTBT · 02-23-2003, 12:37 AM

I wouldnt mind having a set of those!!! NICE!

84Stepper · 02-23-2003, 05:41 PM

YA THOSE ARE SOME NICE MIRRORS BUT I WOULD NEVER SPEND THAT MUCH ON MIRRORS. I AGREE IT IS ALOT MORE CUSTOM HAVING NO MIRRORS BUT MY DAD WOULD RATHER ME HAVE ONE MIRROR ON DRIVER SIDE.

82 Silverado 4X · 02-23-2003, 08:59 PM

I wouldn't go without mirrors if you plan to drive it. If you want custom and inexpensive, try walking through a junkyard and look at the different types of mirrors on different cars, trucks etc. to find a type that you could adapt to your truck.

79Silv4x4 · 02-23-2003, 09:12 PM

It can get you a ticket in OK if you don't have at least one outside mirror.

PHOENIX · 02-24-2003, 01:35 PM

What about the electric mirror that came on the newer models? I like the looks of those can someone post a picture of those again, and how much are they?

AirMale · 02-24-2003, 01:40 PM

Personally, I like the stock small chrome mirrors that came on the early(73-82) trucks. I ordered 2 repro's from LMC($29.95ea) and think their perfect!

Prerunner1982 · 02-24-2003, 01:40 PM

why not keep the dumbo mirrors?

AirMale · 02-24-2003, 01:46 PM

You need an extra lane with the dumbo mirrors......LMAO!

bigblock73 · 02-24-2003, 01:54 PM

No mirrors here, I like the "shaved" look...just ask Dave, he likes the shaved look too...that is why he does his legs everyday!!

PHOENIX · 02-24-2003, 02:02 PM

Guys I ran a search and couldn't find anything on the mirrors im talking about. Anyone know anything about them. They look like the 90's chevy truck mirrors except they came on late 80's subs and I think maybe even trucks. They are supposed to bolt right up. They are electric too. Anyone remember them?

bigblock73 · 02-24-2003, 02:05 PM

Eddie, I just posted a thread about them in this forum a couple weeks ago. There was a guy on e-bay that had the complete setup for sale...everyone b*tched they were too expensive.

Do a search, it should come up.

PHOENIX · 02-24-2003, 02:41 PM

I ran another search. Still couldn't find it. I checked out tons of links with no luck. I hate when I search for something I know is there, but I can't find it. Jeff are you sure you started the thread? Maybe you will have better luck finding the thread ?

PHOENIX · 02-24-2003, 05:11 PM

Thanks Jeff.
Anyone have a picture of those on a truck from further away? Anyone know what a dealer would charge for them? Can they be bought without power? or atleast without the components?

LOHRTBT · 02-24-2003, 05:52 PM

no outside mirrors required in oklahoma. As long as you have a rear view mirror.

84Stepper · 02-24-2003, 06:29 PM

With my luck i would get a ticket and loose my license even longer. Ya I guess I will get one chrome mirror since I will be driving it all the time.

PHOENIX · 02-24-2003, 06:32 PM

I wonder how these would look:

84Stepper · 02-24-2003, 06:38 PM

Those are bad ass man! I looked at those a while back and thought about getting them. Not a bad price either.

accually i read somewhere online about oklahoma laws that you only have to have outside mirrors if your side and back tint is dark enough.

though i do not care!

5% on the back
and
10% on the sides!

LOHRTBT · 02-24-2003, 08:21 PM

ok.....you dont have to have an outside mirror at all in Oklahoma just a rear view... My good family friend is the Captain of the Ok highway Patrol. Straight from him...trust me I asked when I bought the truck.
As far as window tint I thought the rule was eliminated it wasnt....anything darker than 35% they can make you strip it off on the spot. but most wont.
