Those are the power mirrors that were an option on the 89-91 Blazer/suburbans. They look great on the 73-87 pick ups.

Title: Re: 86 k10 project
Post by: nikesb1111 on February 15, 2009, 11:43:00 pm: im not exactly sure what it was for, it was on the bumper when i got it, but i was planning on using it for my block heater, until i swapped bumpers to the 81-87 model.
