Default Re: Mirror attachments

On my 68, yes I know it's a different body style, what you have is a reinforcement plate with three threaded holes for the mirror to attach to. I'm very near certain the setup is the same on 60-66 trucks because I do remember when my father replaced the stock mirrors on his 62 K1000 with the bigger long arm swing lock mirrors the original screws were used to fill the holes in the stock mirror location. It only makes sense to have a reinforcement plate inside the door panel to support the mirror assembly. If you can't find an original then cut up a plate and drill three holes in it then weld some nuts on the back of the plate or just install the nuts when you're hanging the mirror on.
