There are several listings on Ebay right now for the bases, maybe you could find the mirrors later and make something work for now. Or...there also a guy selling an NOS set for $675. Says make an offer. Think he'd take $150? Really expensive D100 side view mirrors on Ebay

Be aware that Dodge also used similar mirrors on B vans, about 82ish. The difference between the Van unit and the truck unit is how the base fits against the door. One was flat, the other was curved (top to bottom) towards the mirror head. The flat base on the curved door would rock up and down. For the flat base to fit on the curved door, you couldn't just tighten the screws, or the base would break, but you could sand the curve into base, the base is just zinc, it sanded pretty fast. I just don't remember which base fit which doors..I would think a straight edge against your door at the mirror location would tell you pretty quickly which base you need. Don't pay big money for the wrong base mirror. Gene

I feel your pain. My truck is just a rusty beater, but I still need mirrors. Can't find anything. Nothing in the above for a '76 D-200. Lately, I've been trying to find some 68 car mirrors and the only responses I get is N.O.S. Don't need to spend that kind of money for my beater. Let us know if you find something reasonable.
I have mechanical Aptitude. I can screw up anything.

I put a set of these stainless steel mirrors on my '87 D100 http://www.awdirect.com/west-coast-mirror-junior-cham-cal-engineering-20852/mirrors/Not everybody likes this style, but they worked great for me, they were stainless steel and hold adjustment. Not "Pro Street", but it is for a truck and not a race car...the Ramcharger is going to get a Wink multi-panel interior mirror so I can keep an Eye the competion when they chase me down
