Once upon a time a previous owner installed some big truck mirrors. Holes in the door and top of the door above window have been welded shut and doors refinished. I plan to buy and install the correct mirror. I recall , or think I do, that someone posted the "template" that is used to locate the holes for the mirror on the cowl. I looked inside under the dash and it does not look like the "optional" mirror was ever installed. Was there a "backing plate" for that mirror that went on the inside? Advice, suggestions, anyone ?

There is a template/instruction set that came with the big truck mirror kit. You just flip it for the opposite side. There is a plate underneath for the bolts to go through under the cowl on both sides. https://www.flickr.com/photos/advance-design_parts_co/9647482921/in/album-72157631868452754/ If you PM me with your email I can send PDFs of the template and instructions. It works for locating the small truck mirrors as well.
Look closer. There is a support that already has the proper holes punched out that you can use as a locater to drill out the outer sheet metal. You will drill it it out from the inside. You may have to remove glove box to get access to them.

Let me get back in there with a mirror on the drivers side and see if I can see those. Thanks Phil! Between you and Brad I'm bound to get it right.
