Dave,
My '56 rear view mirror is centered. However, I just noticed that there are
two extra holes not being used on either side of the mirror mount, so I
cannot be sure that this is the original mirror. But even if it isn't, the
other two holes are also centered with the cab. So either way it would
appear the mirror is supposed to be centered.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [oletrucks] TF mirror and wipers
Hi all,
Is the TF rearview mirror supposed to be centered in the windshield
opening? Mine is offset 3 1/2" towards the passenger side. I added the
original repro mirror a few years ago and used the holes I found there,
there aren't any in the middle unless they're bondo'ed over.
Also, has anyone ever lubed their wiper arm cowl bearings? I have mine out
for painting and while they don't squeak, it doesn't seem right to reinstall
them with dry bearings. They don't come apart and it looks like there's a
brass/bronze sleeve bearing visible under the crank end. 30 weight oil, or
something heavier? I suppose I could rig up a heater hose on one end and a
zerk on the other and force moly grease thru it. Overkill?
