SD Mirrors on OBS
I decided to add the SD mirrors from a 99 as the 08 mirrors are a bit much at 800 to 1200.
http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3712298_n.jpg before i started i spent alot of time taking measurements and just looking at it to picture how it would look. http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...2_668518_n.jpg stock mirror removed http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._6345613_n.jpg new mirror on with 3/16 steel plate and a frame of 1/8 rod for the fiberglass to go over. http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._7491985_n.jpg view from drivers seat http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._8296828_n.jpg front view i have pics of the work in progress that i can post if anyone wants to see them. |
if you can get that all cleaned up that will be the first time ive personally seen it, actually looks pretty good. if you can get the 08s used, i think it will look nasty!

Not trying to be a smart butt, or rain on your parade.. But from the pictures you posted it looks like there is going to be one heck of a blind spot, especially on the passenger side.

here are some more pics of the work in progress.
http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3126494_n.jpg we used the mirror as a guide to put the 1/8 rod in place for the fiberglass shell. http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3059667_n.jpg be careful to go weld slowly as to not warp the door. ataching 3/16 steel plate to the thin metal on the door it got hot. i am getting ready to do the fiberglass and will post more pics when i can. also as you can see i chose not to attach it to the window bar because if i ever have to change the main window i will have to move the bar. |
oreocreaming had already done a similar mod with power windows that have the integrated turn signals

Vent windows are one of the coolest things about OBS trucks.

Yep I agree you got talent it dose look ok . But the vent windows is the reason I like that style of truck. I take it OBS stands for old body style. When its raining you can have a vent window open and not get soaked LOL

I like the looks, and i have thought about doing this myself many times, just not sure if i could handle not having the vent window
