stock mirror holes

i bought new mirrors for my truck a while ago. i went to install them and the mirror brackes/arm holes don't line up. anyone using stock mirrors and can measure where the holes should be on the body it would be a great help.

Re: stock mirror holes




The vertical lines are measured as if the front of the cab were against a wall measuring back. Horizontal is up from the ground with the top of the frame being about 10. I've looked all through this factory assembly manual and this is the best I could come up with.

Re: stock mirror holes

Re: stock mirror holes

If you look on the inside of the door you can see the three holes already cut into the bracing just drill to the center of all three.

Re: stock mirror holes

that would help if there wasn't holes already drilled and filled with crappy weld but the previous owner/owners. but i got them in the right spots i think. well close enough. thank everyone.
