Looking for Info on These Mirrors

I also posted this in the 73-87 forum.

I swear the mirrors in the pictures below were on the 1986 dually I had from 1987 to 1999. I don't recall if I bought them or if they were on the truck when I bought it. Since I still have one of the original boxes, I'd guess I bought them, but I'm confused why the box says they are for 1988 and up trucks. I never owned a truck in the 1988 - 1998 series.

I'm planning to sell them, but am trying to figure out what years they will fit. Were the mounting arms bent at different angles?

Re: Looking for Info on These Mirrors

They could be 88-90 as the Blazers, 3/4, and 1 tons were still square body style. I don't recall seeing them, but it looks like they may be a extended towing mirror.

I am confused as the part number is correct for the88 and up truck mirrors, but that mirror is not that number.

They would fit 88-94 pickups just fine. They had a similar non extending mirror.

Those mirrors look like these 88-98 mirrors. They probably have that angle because they're mounted at the same angle as the side windows.

You are correct. They are aftermarket extendable towing mirrors. I just can't remember where I got them or why I'd get mirrors correct for anything other than a square body. Here's a picture of what I had on my '86.
