As soon as I can find them AND afford them
Depends on how much they are but now that I know you're looking, I'll keep my eyes out for two.
Actually, there are some on ebay but one guy sells the right one and the other one the left one (I think)
Want the links?
I THINK they are the same.
Wrote to one of them but haven't gotten a reply yet.

George are they the tow mirriors with the turn sig and heatd ones? I looked today to see if they had any and they were all not heatd or turn signal. Als they had were power. Also some of them were aftermarket tow mirriors.

Mind you, they didn't even know they would fit on the X without modifications
I had to tell them they bolt right on and explain that the tow mirrors have the same functions as the other mirrors and yes, they DO telescope.

i have a set of "factory ford" tt mirrors. they are power and heat. no signals. they have the putco full chrome covers on them. check my gallery for pics. remember, they are the ones without signals. i'll let them go for a reasonable price. they were on the truck for only 4 months. then i got the signal mirrors. they are about 240 each list..

I think Patrick (the other half of DPP...) knows of an aftermarket replacement mirror that has the turn signals and all. Not near the price of Ford if it really is 700 beans.
Email Patrick at Patrick @ DiscountPowerParts.com to bug him enough to dig those mirrors up.
Also, check out the Ford dealer www.PowerStrokeShop.com, they wholesale OEM parts to the public. I have purchased things from them in the past, good dude over there.

Thanks for the link, but alas they are for the turn signal type. From the auction listing; Only for models with turn signals on the mirror.
I can't seem to find the chrome covers for the non-turn sig mirrors anywhere. But I'll keep looking.
Thanks anyway,

I found some on eBay, here's the link to the seller;

I received them early last week and installed them this past weekend. I snap a few shots and post them in my gallery. They look great!
