What process have people used to attach the side mirrors to these vehicles..Just glue or was there any drilling involved?  Thanks!

River Point Station has an instruction sheet that you can download.  http://www.riverpointstation.com/pages/tech_data.php

You may want to download all three pdf files that pertain to the N scale Fords, but the one for the mirrors is at the bottom of the left hand column on the page the above link will take you.  You will need to drill 4 holes with a #80 drill, and I always use the bottom part of the mirror "bracket" to make the holes slightly larger because you are trying to fit a "square peg" into a round hole.

If you need a photo, I can post one.  Or, just scroll down a bit on this page.  https://nscalevehicles.org/  The trick is finding the "dimples" to drill the bottom holes.

Edit:  You can find additional photos in my TrainBoard photo gallery on pages 1 and 2 that may be helpful.  https://www.trainboard.com/highball/index.php?media/users/cfritschle.5852/
