Can anyone advise if the below mirrors could be retrofitted to a 90's truck?

Here is what I would like to put them on.... the stock mirrors and camper slide-on mirrors are horrible.

Those look to be the GMT900 ('07.5-09) mirrors which would not bolt up and would angle downward if you got them installed. I have not tried but have seen this question asked on a forum I belong to for my gasser, and the overwhelming answer I have seen is no, it is better to go with an aftermarket mirror from Kennedy or similar.

That's what I feared....

Just reviewed Kennedy's site,

Mirrors - Extendable Manual actuated fits GMT 400 C/K trucks (http://www.kennedydiesel.com/detail.cfm?ID=147)
Manually actuated extendable towing mirrors.
Fits GMT 400 C/K "classic" body style '88-00. SPECIAL ORDER ONLY, NOT KEPT IN STOCK




$309.00



It's an option... Thanks.

I ended up purchasing "CIPA 80000, 1988-1999 Chevrolet/GMC Manual"
Cost; $232.75
Bought through Amazon of all places... on sale at the time.
Installation took 10 minutes per side, taking my time with door panel removal.
Here are a couple of views:
