The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - Are there any decent aftermarket tow mirrors for these trucks?

Oh, the flatbed probably helps a lot. I just settled for the OE tear drop style mirrors. I also got some quick detach towing extensions that are made for the tear drop mirrors. I'm happy with this set up. I would have liked to have actual tow mirrors, but I never could find a pair I could see out of or was willing to pay for. Thanks for the input everyone. Overall I'd say if your rich, get the $1000 boot style mirrors (better have more money available later, because the motors in them like to go out.) If you want value for the dollar, get the OE style power and heated "tear drop" or "sport" mirrors (mine were $75 for the pair) and the $30 towing extensions made for them. If you aren't bothered by the looks, you can leave the extensions on full time, but I only snap them on when needed.
