Yes , you are correct. They mount forward of the originals by a couple of inches. I believe someone in the thread about power mirror conversions mentioned that also, but I did not want to let these disappear, so I grabbed them. Another suggestion from the power mirror thread was using mirrors from a Camaro, or from a Corvette.

If you have the bullit style mounted in the factory location you will have to weld up your existing holes and drill new ones for the new mirror farther forward and also add a reinforcement plate on the inside to support the mirror,

Thank you for the reinforcement suggestion. I knew that if I use these mirrors, I would need to drill new holes and patch the old.

I searched threads that I have responded to, to find the original beginning of the thread about power mirrors. It was started by 88AZSS on Mar 11, 2020. The thread title is "Power Mirror Upgrade" Good info, and several interesting comments, for anybody interested in power mirrors.

Jordan, MrSony, of Des Moines, Why did you only buy 1 headlamp?, or are you only showing one? it is best to replace headlights in pairs, but keep an old one around for emergency replacement. A pretty neat batch of parts and tools otherwise.

I bought a pair of the bumper mounted marker lights last year. Driver's side got water in it, washed it out and now it's dull and faded inside. $38 ain't nothing for a new one. I have a dingy passenger one now that I think about it, so now I'll have a new pair and a crappy pair.

Scored a set of Cutlass doors for$40! They are rough, but complete. I may only use for parts, but that price was enough just for the mirrors and glass.

Went to the yard the other day. Picked up 3.23 gears and posi for an 8.5 rear, cassette radio, and some map lights.

While mad at the spoiler earlier I ordered a fancy rear diff cover for the 8.5. Figure if it's gonna get rebuilt I'm gonna throw all the goods at it.

Bought an Alpine MRV M500 today. I have the MTV 5 channel that I am currently using for my sub. The 5 channel would cut out at high volumes for a reason I could never discover after trying to diagnose what caused it, I isolated each speaker and none of them would cause the amp to shut down, so I added an Alpine PBX-4 to run my 4 speakers. The M500 is a smaller footprint that the 5 channel and is put out more power so it should work nice and I'll sell off the 5 channel. I also bought a new antenna to stick on the windshield cause I cut the wire on the one that was there when I was cutting the windshield out.....
