They don't have to be retro fitted, they sell then on Ebay and are direct fit. Just search for 1994 1500 towing mirror an take your pick....

Has anybody prepped and painted the GMT800 towing mirrors gloss black? I just think that flat plastic would look funny with my white truck and chrome simulators and bumpers. At least a nice shiny gloss black would set it off fairly well

Probably my truck you're talkin about... You can do it, but it'll be a LOT of prep work unless you're OK with a textured gloss finish.

I'm just concerned with the longevity of the stainless or chrome trailer mirrors being in the North East. I think the GMT800 mirrors would hold up much better in the elements, but I also think it would look funny with all of the shiny stuff on my truck. Did you do prep and paint your mirrors with a gloss finish?

The all plastic retrofits are a bolt-on operation, and should last forever. Worst that could happen is the plastic fades over a decade or so.

I did ZERO work to them. bolted them on as they came. I see no advantage in the gloss finish personally.

Keepin in mind that the mirrors on our trucks are replicas of the GMT800 mirrors, NOT the same manufactured part.
