    Im looking at options for side mirrors. I have one side mirror on the drivers side and want a second but id like to see options of different styles people have done for 84-88 pickups. Also if modification was done for fitment explanation and pics are great! So please post up ur mirrors below!

    Check out the Baby Tornado mirrors by Vitaloni. They were a very popular style mirror in the mid-late 80's. In fact, I used them on my truck for about 20 years. They are no longer available in the stores. I just looked on e-Bay and they currently have a horrible selection. Check out this site instead: http://www.deltamotorsports.com/products/pg16d-baby-tornado-mirrors.html

    I have a 70s VW bug mirror on my 78. Has a horizontal bolt and pivots on that, rotates on a socket further out. Very classy and sleek. Ill post a pic.

    It mounts on the VW with about 3/4" threads. Trim them off and use the 1/4" bolt inside they used for tension. Real simple and clean. Available new online in driver and passenger side.

    My 85 actually came with a baby tornado mirror on the drivers side but only the mounting bracket on the pass side. Thought about replacing it but it goes too well with "YO" on the tailgate. Problem is the plastic is starting to droop and the tin on the back of the mirror is separating.

    I have power 4runner mirrors from a 93 and they seemed like they would work on a 4th gen with a few holes drilled in the corner. Also seems to fit a 2nd gen with a slight bit of window coverage at the front vertical.
