Are these original the original mirrors?
Are these the original mirrors?
What color is the trim supposed to be around the windows, looks like it was chrome but got painted black over it?
Thanks for the help guys.

are they original dealer installed, maybe. are they toyota brand, i will go with NO. my towing mirrors have plastic pieces where the bolts go thru between the bracket and the body, and the top piece says Toyota molded into it. you do not appear to have these plastic pieces, nor is your mirror housing or bracket the same shape as mine.
the black around the door windows, i haven't figured out what is the pattern there. some are painted black and some are body color. mine are body color, and i have vent windows also.

all the pictures i have found of sr5's have these small little black mirrors, almost look like they belong on a miata or something.
The trim on mine is like half chrome, half black on mine.

Toyota definitely did make mirrors like you've got back then, but it sounds like tj884Rdlx has a good picture of what it would look like if they were Toyota, so they may be aftermarket. Lot's of 1st gens had those style mirrors, though, if not those exact mirrors.

Factory options for a rear bumper was a chrome contoured (chrome cap which was worthless), gray step, or matte black tube (single oval) bumper.

since i happened to have my camera at work today, i ran outside to snap a pic of this version. see 'toyota' under the rusty bolts? i added the convex of course. it's interesting the bracket is black but the housing is chrome, more bug resistant?

I am not possitive, but I think those mirrors may be from a older FORD truck.
Maybe not but I had an older ford truck that had mirrors identical to those in every way.

Those are the factory original mirrors... they were called "Camper Mirrors" and were an option... yours is the first I've seen with the little plastic toyota trim lip my 87 had those mirrors and the picture in the owner's manual did not show any trim so I would say the trim was a feature on the earlier trucks that was deleted.
the standard mirror was the little wing type everyone is familiar with...
