I thought about the same thing for my truck, I figured I could get two new arms and lengthen them. I ended up with west coast mirrors from Craigslist for $20 and the truck had already been modified with west coast mirrors, I didn't have to drill any new holes, for now I'm happy with it.

If I could find at least driver's side three hole folding arm bracket I coul buy an adjustable spot mirror arm and put on stock rectangle mirror. The right side door three holes where never drilled, but rest of door looked like it was hit with shotgun. I believe that the truck came with driver's side mirror only,then owner installed west coast mirrors. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2019 Posts: 154 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2019 Posts: 154 | hello 78 buckshot, have you seen folding three hole base in your search? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,987 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,987 | H ans H classic has some in their catalogue for '60 - '66, I don't know if they are folding style, they also have round and rectangle heads.

Something to check before you drill holes. Mike B  | | | | | Joined: Jan 2019 Posts: 154 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2019 Posts: 154 | Thanks for input Mikeb. Yesterday evening I found what I believe are folding mirror brackets with driver's door parts,painted body color, right door has reinforced area but no captured nuts,so am I right in thinking that this truck came original with one mirror only? Previous owner installed west coast style mirror's after purchase?
