Yes, DCM is Dodge Central of Michigan. I got a right side mirror bracket from them to match the drivers side one, like shown above. However, I've found it to be pretty useless. It's too low to be of any value for normal driving. Also, I couldn't get the proper angle on the mirror to be useful without modifying the mounting.

But it looks cool.. ;)

I reckon the safe thing to do would be to order a matched pair of West Coast mirrors, then use a 5" convex on the passenger side as a stick on. I hate to drill holes into my door.

No holes in the door, it hangs on with the door hinge pin...but I solved the same issue Merle had by just adjusting that bracket out and tack welding it to the door pin...but The truck was also full stripped so I wasn't hurting paint and I could hit the weld.  Works great...live it for back out of the garage..found myself too close to the opening a few times before the mirror

I made a small bracket to attach between the hinge bolt hole and the mirror bracket to allow it to angle back a bit more. It helps with the mirror adjustment, but now the door will bump it out of adjustment when it opens fully. I may have to add a spacer to the door check arm to counter that. 

I also use it for backing out of the garage, but I have to readjust it every time my wife gets in or out, or if I open the door and forget about the interference. It's worse with the larger 5x7"mirrors I usually have on it. But with the 4" round mirrors I can barely see the right side mirror. So I use the larger rectangular mirrors for better visibility.

5x7 rectangular? That sounds nice. On the tall posts bracketed to the door hinges? How about this look?
