Stupid Buzzard's Need a replacement Mirror

Heading home this morning and a buzzard decided he really liked my truck and decided to fly into the mirror . Knocked off the mirror and it broke the housing. Where do i need to look to find a OEM mirror with the heat and the blinker on the side? Im guessing i will have to have a body shape paint it to match the rest of the truck...

Thanks

If you want OEM, check Tasca. If you can't figure it out on the website, call Josh, have your VIN ready to give him.

After calling my ford dealership and getting quoted a price of 236 dollars i found one at tasca for 135.00.. Does anyone know the years that had the signal on the outside of the mirror? I know ive seen my bodystyle supercrews with the signal in the glass.

The lady at the glass place asked me how fast i was going, and i told her. She said she had a customer last year come in with a buzzard hit. He hit one at 80 mph went threw the passenger side of the windshield and the backglass and dented the headache rack... One of my wifes coworkers hit one in a chevy caviler and it caused 1400 dollars of damage to the front end including a radiator... They can be destructive
