Please elaborate. Lol. They don't have to telescope I just need power adjustment.

Theres what Rus has (somewhat, I may have linked to a different option package mirror)


on my **** mirrors, I had to trim the plastic that surrounds the stud, that protrudes through the door skin.
oh, ok. I thought you were saying you bought the ones for a super duty (F350 with the rounded top edge not the straight slant) and cut it straight to make it fit, I was thinking of looking into replacing mine (power tilt with signal) with a set of these but was looking for FULLY power (tilt and telescope,if possible) with heat and signal (again, If at all possible) but wasn't sure if i'd be able to modify to make work/fit, even if I had to make my own heating circuit for that function.

an expy any year from 97-11 can fit any generation expy mirror ie 07-11 will fit on 97-02 as will 03-06, as of yet there's no replacement tow mirror that i've found to fit the 97-11 expy base.. if you find some let me know!

Those have already been posted. The whole point is everything on my truck is power so why would I want to go back to non power? I'm not worried about the telescoping.

Sorry to derail the thread.

The only power the tow mirrors don't have is telescoping and folding. The tilt, Signals, and heat are all available for tow mirrors. (At least from what I've seen on ebay looking for FULLY *Extend/Fold included* power mirrors.)

Power Adjustable with Signals and Heat. 03-05 SuperDuty - Ebay

Thanks for any info you can provide.
It's a task, took me about 3 hours. I had to completly reshape the base of the mirror, drill 4 new wholes in the door, and get some longer bolts. Mine are manual mirrors, but I would imagine the wire connections are different shapes. the gaps are small after widdleing them down.






I proboly would have eventually bought some like what Russ has, But I bought a truck that has them stock, so theres no need.

its really a shame that they rape you to ship to Canada... when just across the border its about 80 dollars cheaper, im going to end up paying about 250 bucks done then maybe throw them on the truck when im across in the states ill ship them over there
