I have a 3/4 ton with the huge mirrors, wanna take em off and put the smaller oem 1/2 ton mirrors on it.. Can anyone send me close up pics of theres so i can see exactly where i need to drill holes for em or maybe even measure for me on the door where to drill or send pics with tape measure showing... that would be great!!! Thanks!!!!

What type of mirrors are you installing, dumbo type or the smaller sport mirrors. I just removed the old camper style fold out and flip to extend for the dumbo type. If using the dumbo type just use the front top bolt hole- threaded and using the braket figure where the new holes need to be drilled.
Hope this helps.

i have the dumbo right now this is a 3/4 ton use to have camper, im using the 1/2 ton style sport mirrors but it needs holes drilled need to know where

I think Chris (CptKaos or something like that) posted some measurements once with a drawing. You might see if the search turns up anything. I couldn't find it.

Wouldn't you have the big trypod style on a 3/4 camper and not the 1/2 dumbo ones? The half tons came stock with the dumbo and sport could you specipghy which one ?

just so i have it right you want these right ?

HotRod73 · 10-02-2006, 09:19 PM

i wanna put the chrome sport 1/2 ton mirrors on my 3/4 ton its a custom truck im workin on

**Captkaos** · 10-02-2006, 10:47 PM

This is the dimensions for the small sport mirrors. If you need the dumbo's I can get that too...

HotRod73 · 10-03-2006, 12:22 AM

i guess that are "dumbo" they have 3 holes but they arent towing mirrors.... it looks like what 84 400 has the ones you mostly see on these trucks can you get the demensions for me? that would be awesome sorry for trouble

HotRod73 · 10-03-2006, 02:26 PM

yep those ones 84 400 thats correct!

Matt_305 · 10-03-2006, 03:13 PM

I got my door off a c60 dumptruck and it had even bigger mirrors then the trailers haha. I think it's something like, 2" 7/8" from the front of the door and 3/4" from the top front bolt hole then I just put the mirror on made it level traced it and colored in the holes double checked it all and drilled away. Looks good now. I'll go measure right now I'm going out anyway taking stuff off the parts truck.

HotRod73 · 10-03-2006, 03:21 PM

thnx

HotRod73 · 11-12-2006, 10:53 AM

are you measuring from the left or right side of the door... front to back or back to front....

**Captkaos** · 11-13-2006, 06:38 PM

The black door is the passenger side and that would be from the front to the back.
