f250 width (incl. mirror frame)

I'm considering buying a F250, but it needs to fit in my garage. It has the fixed frame/support type of mirror, so only the actual mirror portion is movable. Does anyone know how wide it is, or have the same mirror style that can measure theirs? I'd really appreciate it because the truck is a bit of a drive away, so I'd rather not drive out there to find its to wide to fit in the garage.

It sounds like a really nice truck. 90k miles, 460, 4x4, auto, etc. I'm pretty stuck though if I can't get in my garage though I know I could put different mirrors on it, but I'd rather just find something that already has the other type of mirrors.

yeah thats tight but i would take the passenger side one off and drive it if it needed to get in and out of the garage. you do have to be carefull even with an 8 foot door, i'm not sure if the opening is actually 96 but its a standard door and door opening and i get in with the mirrors in.
