Swing in West Coast mirrors? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone know of a style of smaller West Coast mirrors that fit our trucks and easily swing in?

I just did some measuring and realized with stock mirrors on both sides I will have only a few inches of garage door frame clearance. As I've already lost one mirror head to the garage door frame, I'm dreading how bad it would be with both on there.

Here's mine...$29.95 a piece at Classic Parts of America. Easy to install...adjustable out and in and easy to swing as well...just loosen the bolts and good to go. Nice set especially for the money imop.

Those are nice looking. I was hoping to find some though that don't require any tools to fold them against the doors
