It would be possible, but it would need to be touched-up. Or, you could add a sweet set of flames starting at the front-end that extended to the door---Covering that spot. :cool:

A hole there? :think: :confused: When you take the mirror cover off, there are three small bolts that secure it in place. I believe the mounting holes for the smaller mirrors would not work with your factory upper two. You would have to have them welded-up, and two new holes drilled. There is also a bracket within the door that is needed from what I was told. I don't see why you couldn't mount them without it though. :) That is the reason I said you could have it touched-up, or add a sweet flame job that would cover that portion of the truck up. :D

You would have to remove the instrument bezel, the clear gauge face, and instrument cluster body. From there, remove the light bulbs and replace them. Not too hard..............:cool:
P.S.-Not sure, but you may have to remove the needles and etc.. :)

yeap, but i dont think you will have to remove the needles, just take some of the gauges out so you can get to the bulbs behind them, once you get to the actual gauges, you will know what to do, the bulbs just pull out

That's what I thought, but wasn't 100% sure. Been a while since I removed my instrument cluster. :D

you are correct sir. the small facotry mirrors have a differnent bolt pattern than the dumbo ear mirrors, so all the holes would need welded up. and new ones drilled:D
