Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

my 71 K20 Burb has factory sport mirrors, no other holes found in the door..

right side mirror head was broke off when I bought it and it's a little tough parking squarely on the curb without it..

so I bought the LMC pair with built in fisheyes, cool right?

so after drilling screws to remove the door panel [saved every thread in the door btw ]

chasing threads and lubing everything, I installed the mirror with three arms, yep, that's about how it went..

and now I can't see a damn thing next to the truck with it, from the driver's seat anyways

mirror head binds into the arm no matter which way I turn it

well, it is a 'passenger' mirror so I guess it's for passengers to see behind the truck

useless as a screen door on a submarine..

door and window hardware however are all working smoothly now
