I hope this thread comes across in the spirit of sharing ideas, rather than "Look at me, I'm bad, uh huh!"
Hope we can get more picts of everyone's vehicle. I think there are some real interesting variations in approach to design, re-design, particularly addressing the the trucks shortcomings. I have learned a lot from the generosity of others on this site. It is not lost on me : )

Have not hooked up the wires yet. Casting quality where mirror meets small arm is marginal, but would grind out easily. You MUST reinforce the doors for these. You can get the plates from Ohiobenz on here for $100. He also has harnesses. The closer you place the mirror to the front of the door, the less wobble potential. I also welded a piece of stainless my driver's side door. That really stiffened it up.
