I hate how the tow mirrors block sight lines.  Anyone know if the 1500 mirrors will fit the bolt holes and the wiring is the same?

No.  The mounting bases are not the same becaue the 1500 doors are different from the HD doors.

 

There is only one small HD mirror that they make.  If you have any options like the blind spot monitors, you cannot make this conversion.

Are you certain?   I hate these tow mirrors.  
 

Is the door sheet metal at a different vertical angle or the hole location at a different height?

 

Has anyone tried this swap?

I would trust newdude words.

 

I did not know there was only one version of the small mirror.

Well, someone needs to brave the unknown, I’ll buy the pair and report back my findings

Different strokes for different folks but I think the Silverado 1500 mirrors are the worst looking mirrors on any brand truck currently on the market.

Big trucks for towing have to have big mirrors. JMHO.

The tow mirrors a too huge for us non-towing folks….trying to squint between the A pillar and the mirror body to avoid anything hidden behind is frustrating.    
 

Someone else may find this useful.

The 1500 doors are different Chevy and GMC.  The angle of the mirror mounting plate and shape of the mounts are designed to contour the doors.

 

The HD doors are flat, no body lines at the doors.  The mount and the studs are positioned differently from the 1500s.  You can see the differences below in the mount holes on the doors.

Well that is very helpful to keep me from wasting time and money.    
 

thanks for posting @newdude

 

 

So just to go back to something I posted earlier, there is one small mirror option for HD from the factory.  Option code is DLN, they are power glass and heat.  They can be used, however, if you have either version of the tow mirror that has the blind spot indicator, these would be a no go.

 

What functions do your current tow mirrors have?

Just turn signals and heat, no blind spot indicator.      Any chance you have a link to a picture or a part number?

    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
    • I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
    • I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
