Which Mirrors are BEST quality?

[CheemsK1500]

OEM take offs are arguably the best, even if you have to do a little bit of refurbishing to them. If you cant find clean ones, the new stainless ones are good too. The good thing about this style of mirror is that rights and lefts are the exact same.

I scored a tight set of stainless OE mirrors off the Facespace. I'd also heard there's a lot of variance in the aftermarket units quality and didn't want to risk it. Plus they were like $50 and just need a polish.

I would like to put some electric dodge ones on my 78 when i semi restore it. (Paint job) I even parted out (2)2500s and didn't keep the mirrors. Dummy

Let me know of you want some that are driver quality. I don't want to hang onto parts so I can simply say I have it, lol.

I've got a pair of the Dodge mirrors, a pair of the G van mirrors and also have a pair of factory '90-'91 squarebody power mirrors. I always intended to use them, but at this point I'm doubting it. I probably should just sell them so they can go to a good home.

Lol, I just have ended up with stuff over the years. Van mirrors were to go on my black Suburban. Squarebody mirrors were to go on my old green Suburban. Dodge mirrors were found on the property when I moved in.

No need to explain yourself. I have 2 Christmas tree stands but use a Napa bucket..?

Nos or originals are the best... even good after market mirrors are junk compared to originals, that's my experience.

 

[Doppleganger]

What were the originals made out of? Stainless?

No, the stainless ones have a stainless cover as well.
