I don't mean Swing-aways, I'm talking about the standard mirrors that mount with 2 screws a couple of inches below the bottom of the window. Paddle mirrors. All the normal reproduction parts sites have the black ones but I would buy chrome ones if they are out there somewhere.

Yep...the chrome came stock on most rangers....don't see why the wreckers wouldn't have them by the bucket-load...

OK, I've had a bunch of Rangers and have never seen these in chrome so I still think we are talking apples and oranges. The mirrors I am talking about are these:

OHHHHH.....ok then. Umm...as far as I know, the '93-'97's had them, but I've only ever seen them in black.

The only place I've seen the ones you are looking for were LMC Truck. Planning to get a set for mine at some point.

They only come in black as far as I know...I have them on my truck...but they are notorious for flopping...

However, I fixed mine with a thick black zip tie...now they don't flop...:yahoo:

Zip ties are a mans best friend...lol

TastySloth, nope, they're different but probably as close as it gets. I'd rather go with some aftermarket Talbots or something then. Just figured maybe someone made the stock-type in chrome but I guess not......

I meant the ones he was asking for. I know that 1st gens had chrome mirrors that are a similar style to what he was looking for. But IDK, I've been wrong before.
