Replacement mirrors for vent window trucks?

Anyone know where to find good replacement mirror heads for this style of mirror?

I've replaced them a few times with these and they are total junk and fall apart after a few months:

Check out your options from Grote they should have something that will work.

Grote part # 12193-5

Plug that into Amazon @ $25.00 compared to what your paying

See if this is what you want

I have bought all kind of grote products from Summit

Just what sort of abuse to you put your truck through that the mirrors fail

Driving down paved roads at 55mph and shutting the doors when parked. Apparently this is too much for those mirrors.

Do you own those mirrors? How much larger are they over the stock toyota mirrors?

Here's a pair, new in box , for $39.99 each. I got a different brand set off eBay and am happy. Mine were made in 1983. They are getting to be hard to find. I search "compact truck mirrors" to find them.

You can barely see them in this picture. I have a hard time finding my pics on Photobucket.

Hey man thanks for the tips. I ended up picking up a couple of these:

Might take a little work but I think I ought to be able to make them work.
