How exactly did you modify them and hook them up to the original mounts? I tried to pm you but your inbox is full

JCKustoms,  what do I have to do to get that exact setup on my truck?? Personal message?? Have you make a set and buy them? I want exactly what you have there, heat, power adjusters, turn signals, everything.

I have been considering building my own set too, but that has all features I want. If you had an extra set I would buy them.

So this topic has been read almost 16,000 times.. I'm curious if anyone else has mounted a set of mirrors like this?  I'm tempted to buy a set and see how exactly it needs to be done myself.  I'm curious if anybody has had a set of the stock 09 mirrors in their hands and can tell me if the arms will pop off the vertical part that hooks them to the triangle.. curious if that in itself will be difficult.

2003-current tow mirrors of that design are fairly easily disassembled. You can even get a retrofit set online for 90s model trucks and use those as you won't need the door mount (traiangle as you called it) and they are probably built the same.

I cut the original vertical bar off the tow mirrors and welded a longer one on to fit down in the original square body mount then drilled 2 holes to tighten the screws to hold the mirror. Then did a little plastic work to put the tow mirrors back together

Hmm, I may have to pick a set up and do that.  My truck is a 1980 K10 and those would look better than the ugly clamp on things I have now. 

I found a link for some 88-98 for $87.  I can get the newer ones for $77 and free shipping off flea bay. 
Irish_Alley, thanks for those pics!  Takes a lot of the guessing out of it.

Sweet deal!  I'll have to keep my eyes out.  If you haven't taken it apart yet, maybe you could take some pics and describe the process of disassembly.

lol i havnt taken mine apart yet either. been sitting on it for over a year, been too busy to tinker with the small things. i was trying to mount mine in a different fashion and still use the stock mount. but this way is simpler and looks easy. maybe tonight after work (midnight) i can tinker with some things.
