I was going to go BenT's route but came into a bit of extra dough and gave
my husband the "truck" mirrors from GoWesty.  I like the look on a Syncro.
They are super expensive, but I splurged.  I went through this, with my dad
continually fixing them, on our diesel and earlier 1986 and just got sick of
it.
