Re: 47 - 53 Rearview Mirror
You can't see much of anythign with the inside mirror mounted on the dash.
I keep looking at these polished stainless mirror arms for 67/69 Trucks https://www.classicparts.com/1967-69...ctinfo/58-120/

The big truck guys sell 5 inch round flat or convex mirrors that would go right on those like this. https://www.zoro.com/velvac-stainles...CABEgICwfD_BwE
I've got 67/69 doors that I got for my 71 and plan to run those arms and similar mirror heads on it. Those doors because a friend found them for me dirt cheap and they are some of the nicest 67/72 door shells I have seen.
A guy would have to make backer plates to go inside the doors to support them right but that is real easy to do Just cut a couple of pieces of maybe 1/4 inch flat bar that you could drill and tap and maybe even hold in place inside the door with some epoxy or double back tape.
