Understand about the rust issue but for moderate to limited towing I think the camper four points are the best choice. Most car trailers here go 96" wide and they push 102" (its fun walking around Willow Springs Raceway pits).
For a full timer I'd jump up to the DG5 West Coast or a current bubble back aftermarket style that is similar with heated heads even.

Do you have the mounting location for the flyswatters? What book did this diagram come from?

The design location MAY be in the factory asembly manual.
I'd have to look harder to find it.

The diagram is from a parts manual.

Here are more pictures showing the factory installation.

Have you located a set of usable or better flyswatters to install?

I found these mirrors at a wrecking yard on a square body. they were universal and adjustable. They work fairly well.

My mirrors on the ramp truck.

I made these out of 3 different mirrors for my 72 K10 to fit the existing holes in the doors. They are ok around town but shake pretty good on the freeway. Most people that I drive by are looking at the truck so they don't care if I cut them off...

I have the mounts for the door but need the arm and the mirror its self.
