Installing mirror on roof in '72 cab??
So the mirror keeps falling off my new truck... and I hate window mounted mirrors anyway... can I simply drill the cab roof and install a 67-71 mirror, or is there a reinforcement plate or some such in the older cabs?

nothing extra needed for mounting. If you get the one like 69Chevylwb has its simple.....center mark and drill.
