The easiest way would be to just put nutserts in the R door, no welding, no plates to deal with either. Drill 3 1/2" holes and crimp a 5/16 x 18 nutsert in and done. Mine didn't have the R mirror, so I'm just going to nutsert it right on the door sheetmetal. Should be more than strong enough to hold a mirror.
If the truck has the R plate, even a nutsert in them would be better than just a thread in the plate.
