Just looked at my '71 Jimmy and '68 C/10 Stepside.
The K/5 upper window ''frame'' is under 1-1/2'' long.
The WC Jr on the pickup has the forward mirror-mounting bolt hole right in the angle above the wind vane, second hole ~2'' aft of that.
Not enough meat.
Unless you added on an upper window frame extension, it won't fly.
Even if you did, the whole assembly would vibrate in the wind something fierce.
