Jet,

If the GMC is like the Chevrolet truck: on your driver's side look under the dash and see where the driver' side mirror attaches through the cowl - two holes in/through a brace.

Look under the dash on the passengers side and you will see a similar brace with holes (I hope). Punch up at the center of each hole, and then drill for the mirror screw holes.

PLEASE READERS: if I am wrong quickly correct me. I'll check this on my GMC COE tomorrow.

Use an automatic set punch from the inside for making the dent come through to the outside. Not much room for swinging a hammer under the cab.
