Default Tow mirrors???

Anyone have or have seen any large tow mirrors like the newer Super-duty's have for our trucks?? the extendable ones with two piece glass in em? or even just bigger mirrors like the size of the 04-08's?? I can't see **** out of these little car mirrors on my truck... I'd like to stay away from the big three armed bolt to body style! if I cant find anything I'll be buyin some for a super duty and doin some cutting melting, shaping and stamping to get those to fit sometime after X-mas... No slide on extensions either...

Thanks guys

found somethin Faber, http://www.autoanything.com/mirrors/...0A2171501.aspx

still more interested in the two piece superduty mirrors and would probably re-fab and customize a set of those from a junkyard before spending $540 for a pair of these from autoanything I don't like as much...

if you google TTT mirrors you will find a site that sells them. They're still expensive but there are people that have bought them on this site.

I think I would go with the **** mirrors over these cuz of the height of the mirror... I think the **** mirrors are shaped more like the super duty mirrors than the TTT... Thanks though, I apprectiate the response...

I have the power vision mirrors made for the F150 but I don't know why they are not for the SuperCrews. Just the F150 Supercab and the Reg cab

They are discontinued and I don't know why either so keep an eye on e-bay. I used to work at an RV shop and for The 1ton Chevy installed were about $800. I got these brand new for $75. Worth it to have them shipped up here in Canada. There is a bit of wind buffering with them but as you can see, the mirror extends (power extend) very well.

There are some from (spelling) Schfernackel Mirrors. My buddy in New Brunswick has them and he loves them too.

I'm looking for a taller mirror more than one that sticks out further... with the little extra height I have on my truck I need to see more of the ground behind me and I like to see far back on the highway also... if I had a taller mirror I could aim it at the ground a bit more and still see off in the distance too... I can't see crap out of these stock mirrors they're absolutley horrible!!...

My friend has two super dutys one with the new style and one with the old... I'll check em out tomorrow and letcha guys know
