Hi,

I'm new to the forum, as I recently acquired a '53 Chevy Pickup. It was recently painted but never put back together again. Someone has put holes in the doors for mirrors, though mirrors were not included in the sale. I've been looking like crazy for mirrors that would fit a 3 5/8" on-center 2-fastener mirror (that can be viewable from inside the cab). If anyone could make any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!


Ryan

WOW..that is a pretty wide spacing....my "SWAN NECKs" are only 2" overall in length.
Mid 70's stock Chevy chevelle,monte carlo,el camino fit that spacing...hmmm maybe they were gonna use that style?

I'm wondering if the stock mirrors have that spacing? They seem about that wide.

Stock mirrors mount on the upper cowl panel and would be to long for door mount. Im using a set of mirrors off a 80's Buick and that is about what I have for hole spacing. I had to set them high and forward to clear the vent window.
