Does this rear view mirror mount look right on my '72?
I purchased the truck this way. It seems too high. I see too much tail gate and no more than three stopped cars behind me..I can't seem to fix the flip of the image.

The 'button' that the mirror attaches to should be 2 7/8" down from the molding to the top of the button; a bit over 4" to the bottom of the button.
Yours may have had the windshield replaced, and the new button placed a bit higher than normal.

Re: Does this rear view mirror mount look right on my '72?
Here's a flip. It certainly looks high compared to my 67. Was PO short?
I'm not in any way an expert but it doesn't look like a 72 mirror mount to me.

That does look too high to me. A 72 would be mounted to the windshield.

Re: Does this rear view mirror mount look right on my '72?
What does the back of it look like? On mine there is a pivot on the mirror arm, and a ball swivel on the back of the mirror, so it allows some up and down adjustment. I have mine adjusted as high as it will go.

Why not just unscrew it and move it down a bit ? Certainly not original design which was windshield mounted.
