Help me choose a mirror

[quaddriver]

1990 R2500 with big truck style mirrors (see pic)

I would like some sort of flag style (sorry if I am using ford words)

I note I have 2 holes in the body by the vent window, I can plug the two door holes with bolt/plugs combos from LMC (.95 each) and seal them internally vs filling in the body and painting.

I would like stainless rather than chrome. I would rather have metal than plastic crap. I want the right side to have objects closer than they appear (even Trex's)

Assuming I could find such in the boneyards - what do I look for, or who has the best replacements on line, and can I have a link to pics?

thanks!

I have those same mirrors. When it comes time for me to switch i'm going to look for some like pictured hear. We refer to them as powered dumbo mirrors

...but you don't have to get them from LMC. You can get them at the pick n pull, ebay, craigslist,...... They are all over the place.

the mirrors from LMC - thin info from them online or in the catalog - is the housing plastic?

No, they are stainless.

ok cool thx, would I be pleased with the quality of the product? we garage the bus in the winter but will they rust thru the chrome quickly on the masts?

They shouldn't but I really don't know to be honest
