I like your mirrors, I have been looking for some that fold that don't look too big for our trucks. Where did you get them?

ebay, I can get you the seller's name if you like. It's ABS and pretty thick.

The PO installed them, not sure where he got them from. They look to be factory?

I got the block heater from O'Reilly's and ramguy85 I have a block heater, oil pan heater, and tranny pan heater all going into a 3 iont 1 6" extension. Thats whats hanging out ofthe grill. And it's OK we ALL have them hanging out up here in Alaska... It makes them easier to get to. I do tuck it in in the summer if thast makes you feel better!

yes they are factory/junkyard/dealer mirrors. Mine had a 3" trailer mirror on one mirror, I put a 2" on the other. Helps with the inherent blind spots our extended cabs have.
