I've never actually measured the mirror mounting location, however it does 
mount in the middle of the speaker cut-out.  It is also directly between the 
flip-down sun visors.  So I'm betting that it is pretty much dead center, at 
least on my 57 GMC 102.

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?
