94 4runner rear view mirror in a 87 pickup?

in the never-ending quest for cheap upgrades to my 87 pickup I stumbled across a 94 4runner in the salvage yard that had a nice rear view mirror with dual lights (my 87 was ragged and the cover was gone from the only light). The plug is a direct swap and 2 of the mounting screws match up but the recessed areas for the 2 light wells need to be cut out of the inner roof metal and the two holes tappede for the outside screws.
I'll post pics (if i can) once I cut out the metal.:wabbit2:

ok, done!
electrical hook up is straight up, it plugs right in. As far as the mounting screws I used the 2 that went right into the original mirror/light mounting holes. The pics give you an idea of the process! :wabbit2:
