If you ever come across any more, please grab them and I’ll buy em off you. I’d like to convert my F body mirrors to power before I install them on The Juggernaut. I’d also need the switch for them too.
No problem. Now are they 2nd gen or 3rd gen mirrors?

I’m not even sure TBH. I bought them a couple years back and have been sitting on them in storage until I’m ready for them.
Here are a couple pictures of them if that helps:

Those are 3rd gen F body. Also used on the Fiero, C4 Vette, square body Caprice Classic & '86 up Monte & Elky. Between the Vette, Camaro & Firebird, complete power mirrors like those aren't that hard to find compaired to the bullet type I'm using. Mine are '81-'82 Vette only.

Oh ok, understood. I thought for some reason you were using the same style of mirrors as me. Regardless, I’m still looking for a set of the motors and a switch for mine. The junkyards around here are devoid of them.

A heads up, the internal mount bracket most likely won't be the same so it may be needed too. As for the switch, UC645 suggested to use one from a '91-'96 B body as it has the left/right feature built in so all you need to do is twist the knob to switch mirrors. It also fits in place of the manual remote in the door panel bezel. There are other early '90's GM's that use that type of switch. I'll still keep an eye open for those mirrors when I make my rounds.

Thanks man, I would sincerely appreciate it. The only thing more rare than F body stuff in the yards around here are 91-‘96 B bodies. There’s simply none around anymore. I was aware of the switch you mentioned, that would be fine. Any idea what the Fiero switches looked like?

Inner/outer tie rods, center link (bad joint on driver's side which prompted purchase), idler arm and adjustment sleeves. All came with hardware, all greaseable with holes for zerks. mevotech stuff, all under $120 shipped from RockAuto. I've used mevotech quite a few times with no issues. Certainly better than sloppy 37 year old parts. They aren't bad yet, but soon all 4 ball joints (taller lowers) and rubber control arm bushings front and rear will render the steering/suspension fully rebuilt, save for a quick ratio box.

Very cool, thanks. I’m guessing by the looks of it, it mounted in the center console. The one yard near me actually has a couple of Fieros in one area, next time I’m there I’ll look again, but I’m pretty sure they were all manual and not power.

iirc, all Fieros were power with the control in the center console. which also means a different wiring harness and the only controller to look like that AFAIK. I think the C4 vettes were by far the most plentiful, and there were one or two years in which they actually had heated mirrors. while some of the Camaros etc did have a power version, I've never been able find one in the junkyard.
