My '51 has the original mirrors bases and stock mirror heads. The comment that you cannot see anything with the passenger side mirror caught my attention because mine seems well placed and I can see that side of the truck and the highway beyond. Admittedly, the mirror is pretty small and thus, the field of view is small. It could be improved by replacing the mirror itself with a larger one or a panoramic mirror. I am wondering if your equipment is stock or the base is reversed or placed in a non stock location. I cannot see your picture well enough to judge if it is different than mine.
