Castiron9;
This is an old Pic B4 I got it painted ,but I'm sure you can guess where all those holes came from . I think almost 40 holes were filled B4 painting.

I know what you mean..This primered door that I got from FRANK'S.had the camper mirror holes also..Had them welded and a small amount of filler..Has no speaker hole and major rust like my old door.Hope to have the whole LONGHORN painted this Summer.. Maybe it will look half-as nice as your truck...

Mirror placement
I dont think the mirrors go on the same location for both doors.
The location for the drivers side is correct, but the location for the passenger mirror needs to be about two inchers to the left or towards the handle side. |

Am I the only one? After installing this style mirror I was expecting that the passenger side mirror was functional but to my dissmay it couldn't be adjusted enough. Did i mount it in the wrong spot perhaps? (same as the pictures) I applied a convex stick on mirror on it to use it, but would really like to have a real piece of glass in the frame that would work....any suggestions?

lewi you're not the only one, I have the same experience.
The passenger side mirror is like Castiron9 said, just to look cool. :p Cya, Edmond

If you want superior rearward visibility -- go back to the West Coast JR mirrors.

The worst thing I did was tint the rear window with Limo tint ,when driving at night or with sun glasses these OLD eyes don't see too well ,So if you see me coming give me lots of room.
