52' passenger mirror question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

wwbill617 · 12-06-2015, 02:56 PM

Ive done a search and didnt find much help. Did the 52' 3100 come with a passenger side mirror? Dealer install option? Where did it mount, door, cowl???
I ordered new mirrors from Tucker but can't figure out where the passenger side goes... Once I figure out where it should go, then I will have my first faux-tina project... LOL

Thanks in advance for the help.

Most items like passenger side mirrors were a dealer installed item.

Do a Google search for your year and model of truck and that should bring up a batch of photos of trucks many of which should be stock or restored an you might find a usable shot of the passenger side mirror.

I did, there are as many pictures of different mount locations as pictures... LOL
was trying to find out where the dealer would have installed it on a 1952 3100.

thanks!

Love your electrical problem quote..

The mirror stem is different but the base is the same as the drivers side, and it mounts in the same spot as the drivers side on the cowl.

There is a reinforcement plate under the cowl with the holes already drilled in it.

The mirrors were an option and were installed at the factory if you ordered them, but you could buy them at the dealer and have them installed.

How do you find the holes? I haven't looked at mine but are the accessible from under the dash? So you can drill them out from the inside to make sure they are in the right spot?

Yes, or make a pattern from the driver's side on a piece of paper and flip it over.
