"West Coast" style Mirrors?
I am looking for some mirrors, specifically the skinny tall ones. I believe they are refered to as west coast style mirrors. Has anybody had any luck finding these? I think they look pretty awesome, unfortunately around here all I can find are the normal "boring" truck mirrors. Thanks.

I picked my set up at the junk yard, there's two versions, the "west coast" that sticks out about 1' from the truck and connects at 3 points with the aid of an additional support brace and the "junior west coast" that sticks out about 6" from the truck and connects at 2 points, they both use a 6x10 mirror.
