89+ Side Mirrors on 88 T2?

Does anyone know if the 89+ mirrors will bolt up to an 88 T2 correctly? I've been told that the later mirrors do much to get rid of the drivers side blind spot. The blind spot is on my 88 very bad, you can lose Ford Expeditions in there unless you twist into a very uncomfortable position to take a look, and I'm sick of feeling like a kamikaze every time I change lanes to the left.

I know Mazdatrix has the mirrors available and will paint them to match your paint code, but I don't know if they are a simple bolt-on replacement.

Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.

They will work daddy-o.

Buy 'em used though, they're hella expensive. Try www.thepartstrader.com or your favorite junkyard.

definitely will bolt on!..i bought a pair used for 75/ and i know there are other places that sells them cheaper. Watch out for used ones that are supposively in great shape but when you receive them are have hairline cracks. I suggest you take a look at your local junkyard and pull it out yourself!..

I have an 87TII and installed a 91 side mirrors!.
