Attaching Mirrors

Should be an easy question. The 4" round mirrors that everyone seems to like, how do they attach to the cab? Something to do with the door hinge assembly? Is there a pin I need to drive out?

Guidance please.

I'm assuming the truck in your sig is the one you're working on. For '48-'52 hinge pin mirrors:

The upper door hinge pins have to be driven out. They can be tough.

Some hinge pins are easier to remove than others. If you go that route and have a problem get back to us and we will give you some tips that worked for us.

The mirrors are small but there are bigger mirrors available that fit on those hinge pin brackets.

Make sure when you tap the pin back in that the bottom hole in the mirror bracket lines up. If its not lined up and the pin is off center the bracket will break.
