Re: 1967-70 mirrors help.
There are backing plates. I have both of mine, that I dug out of the bottom of the doors when I stripped it. When you put the new mirrors on, it may take an extra pair of hands. It may not, but removing the mirrors w/o that extra hand will make you remove the door panel and dig out the backing plates.

I've seen it in "The Truck Shop" and I think Brothers. You may need to order their hardware though. I want to do this also when I have the money ( get rid of the camper mirror)

Re: 1967-70 mirrors help.
thanks for all the help and yeah im taking off the towing mirrors there just too big and i think the sport mirrors are too small so i believe these would be pretty nice.

Re: 1967-70 mirrors help.
I went with Peep mirrors. Some like 'em, some don't. I don't recommend them is you are towing anything, and especially if you are backing up with a trailer. You learn to rely mainly on the inside mirror...and you learn not to haul anything in the bed that is too tall for the inside mirror to see over.
