'67 mirror hole location - - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am going to mount a stock mirror on the passenger side of my '67 but I'm not sure of the placement. I know that with the sport mirrors, the passenger side is mounted about an inch back from the driver's side location, but how how the earlier mirrors? This is a picture of the stock location for the driver's side - does anyone have a picture of where the passenger side is mounted from the factory, or the measurement?

I mounted mine in the same locations on both sides. I was unaware there was a difference? You sure about that? The Red/White 67-72 assembly manual I used didn't show a difference that I saw. Now I'm going to have to find my book and look

I don't *think* it is moved on the old base model 67 - 70 mirrors. The passenger side has a longer arm to compensate for the lack of visibility on them. (the wing vent frame blocks the mirror if the arm is short like on the dvr one)

Wow, Andy, you're right - I just looked at the arms, and the passenger side is roughly an inch longer than the driver's side. I'm gonna go ahead and mount it in the same place - thanks for your help!

if I had a door with stock holes on the passenger side, I'd check.
