47-55.1 Accessing the interior of the door skin for side mirror mounting? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi all,

I picked up a set of exterior mirrors for my '53 3100, very similar to these ones that @torchlight has on his truck (pictured below). I want to mount mine in a similar location. How is it possible to access the inside of the door skin in this location to tighten the two nuts? My door is assembled already, but I still don't think I could fit my arm in there if I removed the glass and window regulator. Is there a trick to getting this type of mirror installed that I don't know about?
