Mirror measurements??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just got these today. Wondering where to mount them. They didn't have any instructions with them so I'm looking for some guidance on where to drill.
I took some pictures of 4 different locations. Which one is the best spot, you think.
I think the head should be right past the vent/window channel on both sides correct.
This should workout good also for the passenger side as well.

I'm going to have the wife hold the mirror while I sit in the truck and see where to mount them. I want them usable.
Second thought maybe I should call a buddy over!

.
I think that would depend on arm length but would probably fall between your second and third picture.

The wife & I went out and she held them up where I thought they would work the best. The arms are shorter than what Doc posted. I'm 3 1/2" off the front of the door. The arms are 8" long. They look good to me and I can see out of both.

Thanks for all the replies and measurements.
