So I have been looking at side-view mirror options for this era vehicle.
The stock chromed metal manual mirrors were common on 88-98 trucks. The mirror is about 9-1/2” x 6-5/8”, with a roughly 3” x 3/4” metal tube connecting it to a triangular base plate on the sail panel with a 1 3/4” bulge 4” tall. This is roughly 72 square inches total area. The mirror body is reasonably rounded on the front, but the overall design does not appear to be aerodynamically optimized.
Another stock mirror was the lower profile styled electric mirror. This mirror is about 9-3/4” x 5-5/8” with a 3 3/4” tall 2 1/2” long extension from the sail panel. This is about 64 square inches total. This design is also reasonably rounded in the front.
Other mirrors have been adapted to this era vehicle, anything that mounts through the sail panel shouldn’t be too hard to make work. Unfortunately most of the internet knowledge is about making oversized tow mirrors fit so that doesn’t directly correlate to what I am doing.
