It definitely depends on the year, but on 1988 through (I think) the late nineties trucks with manual mirrors, there is a cover on the base of the mirror that pops off (be gentle because the tabs will break off if you don't treat them nicely). Under that cover there is a plate with a screw in it that you can tighten to keep the mirrors from swinging in. If you have to tighten the head of the mirror (a.k.a., the mirrors falls downward), then you have to take the mirror glass off - I think there's a similar mechanism inside of the mirror head (it's been a while though).
