Well, I spent a bit of time working on the trucks today. I pulled the towing mirrors off the 88 and put them on the 99. I haven't wired them up yet (need to add signal and heated circuits for them) but they are on. I also took the handles out and swapped them in favor of Topkick/Kodiak handles.

I'm still on the fence with these handles. I really, really love how they feel and function, and they do match the style of the towing mirrors, but, they just kinda look out of place. Almost like someone just pulled them out of a bin on the assembly line and screwed them on, instead of designing something that really fits the lines of the truck. I have kept in mind the fact that they are from a medium duty truck, where function trumps style of course. So, I'm going to used them awhile, see if they grow on me.
I also swapped the mirrors from the 99 onto the 88. I've never been the biggest fan of this style mirror and have preferred the stainless style better, but after having power mirrors in the truck I really don't think I want to give that option up now. I do think they fit the trucks proportions a bit better than the towing mirrors still.

Also, this is the 5th set of different style mirrors the 88 has seen. Past mirrors....
