Thanks to Rich 5150 69 the passenger door mirror is fitted. The pictures were very useful thanks. Access via the door panel was tight so removed the window riser and quarter light vertical and tightened those mirror bolts up easily. Truck is all done now, unless i can something else to do Oh still got that fuel gauge to replace, one day!!! First trip in her was to an american car show, a round trip of 240 miles. Didn't miss a beat, she ran perfectly. It also blow the cobwebs out and decoked the head as i now have nothing showing from the exhaust pipe when i start her. Below are pictures of her now. The final one at a local car show last weekend. Thanks for all your help guys, best wishes.
Thats a sweet looking truck dave, glad all is well, have you tested the gas gauge to see if it works, or is it the sending unit, wiring, or ground issue...?
Hi Rich. Thanks for your comments. Regarding the gas gauge, the sender unit is new & the correct ohmage (is that a word!!), ground is good. The current gauge reads half full when the tank is empty. I do have a new gauge to install, just nervous about taking the instrument panel out and all the springs flying out (sic). However I will get to it eventually.

Good Doors Go out into the farm country and look for those BIG trucks ~ they used the same doors as yours , being up higher they're rarely rusty , just have myriad holes from all the mirrors over the years .
