I installed on my 70 rr, in exact location as the driver side, looks works great, it would look weird if not in same location.

These were passenger rear view- not for driver- if you mount matching driver location. Measure carefully and match drivers side location that's what I do - otherwise if looks weird... Carefully drill hole- p[rodect paint and maybe dimple before drilling...

There supposed to go farther back then the drivers side, otherwise its just there for looks, I made the mistake on my 66 coronet and mounted it same as drivers and cant see crap out of it (its basicly there for looks now). Any I have measured that came stock with passenger side mirror were farther back.

Cars with vent window are located diff between driver and passenger side to clear the view with the post. No vent window cars are installed at same point

If you have the plastic wedge instead of the rubber gasket it will work. Mounted mine the same.

Nacho is wrong folks.

On B-bodies You can’t compare 66-67 to 68-70 mirror positions because they go in different places.

In 66-67 you look through the wing window at the mirrors on both sides. I have a car that came with them factory.
In 68-70 they are behind the wing window and you look through the door glass at the mirrors on both sides. The driver can’t see down the passenger side of the car in a 1970 b-body pass door mirror. I have 2 cars that came with them.

Maybe wrong maybe not LOL... but I'm just repeating what I have read on several discussions in the past on several Mopar boards. I don't have the personal facts anyway... so keep the facts coming ppl drive

it all depends on the shape of the vent window and the model of the car. some are staggered, some not. and as my one buddy used to say : "ya can't see both sides of the car at once." biggrin
