That looks nice but with only 1 connecting spot I think it will vibrate at road speed.

Very nice work!
My truck came with West Coast mirrors. I kept them and appreciate the good view I get. I'd go with the 5-1/2" mirror on yours.

You've already road tested and no vibration? That's good. I'd go with the bigger mirrors too.

There was such a minor vibration that it did not affect vision at all. I did not see any blue lights at all behind me at 80 mph

That is always a good sign.
By the way, nice mirror.

I still have to make the passenger side hinge bracket. I will try and make it out of stainless and see how well I can finish and polish it. If it turns out good I will make one for the driver side.

how did you keep the mirror bracket from changing position whenever you open the door?
