Default Chevy Mirror Installed on a TA / Compass and Temperature

Just curious if the mirror from chevrolet pickups could be installed in our TA's? The one with the digital compass and temperature guage, I would love to have that mirror that is in the chevrolet's... just curious if this would be an easy install on a 00 TA.

I'm interested as well. I have a similar setup in my Dakota (dd) and whenever I drive my Z28 I find myself glancing up to find the digital thermometer or compass- doh!. I want this for my Z as well.

Is there a cheaper alternative than a gentek? Personally, I've always felt 200+ for a mirror seemed a little much. Although I'd really love a compass/temp mirror. Kind of wondering why GM didn't have them in from the factory.
