This is an older body style Denali with new body style Escalade side mirrors. They may not be from the Escalade because chrome part of it looks slightly different than the oem Escalade mirror? I really don't know what I'm looking at, but I do know for sure those mirrors do not go on that truck.

Those do not go on that truck you are right. I know a few people have done it but I don't know how they made them
line up since the body lines are nowhere close. Probably for sure had to drill new holes in the door, hard wire everything, and do something to make them somewhat match the body lines.

Quite a project if you ask me.

This one looks like he just switched the bottom cap, it's not a eski mirror. Eski mirrors have the base chrome also

Correct. Not an Esky mirror. It's a silvy or Tahoe mirror with those $30 chrome covers on it

It is a newer mirror, he is just saying the guy just changed the lower portion out because the true escalade mirror has the base chrome as well.

It does look nice and wouldn't mind changing it up for a bigger mirror. Maybe if there's a how to I could also play around with the electrical and finally get a power fold in. Could you post more pics of the truck with side and full front shot of it. Want to get a better view of how it looks.
