73 Dodge Truck questions

Hello, I have recently purchased a 1973 Dodge D200. I have a few questions about the truck. Firstly, how would I go about identifying the transmission? Secondly does anyone in the Pacific northwest know a tire shop that would change the split rim tires? And lastly, anyone know where to find a set of mirrors?

Yes, I believe the stock mirrors, would be the correct one. Since If I'm not mistaken dodge did make mirrors with 3 bolt points, instead of the normal two. I think it may be a 727, in it but I'm not up to speed with dodge transmissions, particularly the automatic ones.

I haven’t been able to locate the mirrors in my parts stash. I know LMC truck has some aftermarket ones like that.
I can ask around and see if anyone else I know has some. Sorry...

Ah ok, thank you. I currently have some aftermarket LMC one's on my truck. However they do not fit properly. As you can see, the bottom one's do fit after a bit of modification to them mounting points on the mirror. However to have the mirrors properly fit, I would have to drill new holes into the cab and door, and personally I really do not want to do that.
