stock mirror holes
i bought new mirrors for my truck a while ago. i went to install them and the mirror brackes/arm holes don't line up. anyone using stock mirrors and can measure where the holes should be on the body it would be a great help.

Re: stock mirror holes
 The vertical lines are measured as if the front of the cab were against a wall measuring back. Horizontal is up from the ground with the top of the frame being about 10. I've looked all through this factory assembly manual and this is the best I could come up with. Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: stock mirror holes
thanks for that i just got home from the garage. i installed the mirors using the measurements my friend got off one of the trucks sitting in his father in laws field. i only had to drill one hole and weld 3 up. gota love what past owners did.

Re: stock mirror holes
If you look on the inside of the door you can see the three holes already cut into the bracing just drill to the center of all three.

Re: stock mirror holes
mine don't mount to the door they mount to the cowl area. i should have mentioned my truck is an ad model not a tf model.

Re: stock mirror holes
that would help if there wasn't holes already drilled and filled with crappy weld but the previous owner/owners. but i got them in the right spots i think. well close enough. thank everyone.
