They look like the one ones on my truck. Pretty straight forward, slide in the base, bolt it on, attach the arm and tighten the nut to keep it in place.

I didn't have to drill any holes or do anything extra besides remove a plug on the door that covered where the base attaches.

The mirrors didn't come with instructions. I'm not sure if I need to remove the door panels and glass?

No you just pop the rubber plug out if one is still in the door then on the inside should be the three mounting holes.

If any one could take a pic of the mounting bolt area that would be great

Sorry, I have never had to remove or replace my side mirrors so I don't know how that mounting piece attaches to the inner door.

Hi


There is a groove/slot close to the front seam of the door. Slide the mirror mount into the groove. Look into the door from the front edge by the weather stripping and align the holes of the door to the mirror mount and install the two bolts. I seem to recall it is the first and the last holes of the mirror mount that your 54 will use.


hope it goes well for you
