Pull off your door panels. You should see the original holes.

Best bet I think is see if some one can get you a paper trace with some measurements of their door where the holes are, that would save you making a mess of the paint.

Just snapped this for you to give you an idea.
Though someone may chime in with more detail.

Re: how do i mount stock mirrors over un original paint..
They vibrate a little, but not so bad that it bothers me.
I've thought about filling the arm with some lead bird shot to make em more solid, but it hasn't bugged me enough yet to put that idea in action. Some people have said that theirs drive em nuts, but I think since my truck is so heavy and the suspension is pretty soft I don't see too much distortion.

I have the same mirrors and they move/vibrate very very little.
Use a small magnet combined with the measurements and you should be able to locate the bondo holes.... or the PO fixed it correctly and welded them shut!
