West coast mirrors picture?

I just picked up a set of OEM West coast mirrors for my highboy........ Can someone take a closeup picture of their factory installed ones, or direct me to a closeup picture of factory installed ones, that shows exactly where all three of the mounting brackets bolt on? And a picture of the top of the door that shows where the mounting bolts come through?

Thanks so much

Brian

I mounted these just like the truck they came off of. This is as close as I have for you right now.

Do you have the little T bolts for the top of the door?

Here's the upper mount on a Bump. The T-bolts were rusted all to heck. Head to Lowe's and opt for stainless steel button head bolts and stainless acorn nuts and washers.

Your local Ford dealer will have the mounting hardware in stock, they are still using the mirrors on larger trucks.

Thanks for the replies, I didn't realize they sat that far forward. I currently have the swing-out mirrors, do the west coast mirrors share either of the upper mounting holes for the swing-out ones? If so which one?

These were a dealer installed item, and the mirrors come with the mounting instructions which I just so happen to have. It'll take me a couple days but I could try to post a picture of the instructions if it'll help?

Actually, all mirrors were dealer installed. They were shipped to the dealer loose, inside the cab. This was done for two reasons. It prevented vandalism and damage before the truck was sold and also if the customer wanted a different mirror there wouldn't be any paint and body work involved to fill in the old holes.
Seeing as they were dealer installed, a little variation in mounting hole placement is common. Mounting instructions came with all the mirrors showing where the holes needed to be drilled.
