NBS mirrors on a OBS (not the tow mirrors)

A friend just got tows on his nbs. I might give it a shot with his factory ones. Hehehe

Post pics when your done. I'd like to see them on your truck.
I don't plan on doing it to my truck until after the first of the year.

The mirror bases are entirely different. I played around with my GMT800 manual mirrors from the 02 on my 88 door a few years ago. It would be a good amount of work to get the base to look correct on the door.

The GMT800 towing mirrors only work because an aftermarket company started making them with the correct GMT400 base. I haven't seen that on any other mirror.

How much work are we talking? I'm all for getting a set if I can mod them to fit. Do the studs mount in the same location as the stockers? Or is it just the base on the outside that presents problems with fitment?

I want to get some with the white insert. I really don't want to get mine painted because I'm not so sure about how the paint would hold up over time.

It won't be easy. The studs are in a different location (which can be solved with drilling) but the plastic base is shaped so radically different and larger, you'd have a lot of work trying to change it and make it look right.
