The splash shields were introduced in 1976 F100/350, could be retrofitted to 1973/75's.

What did you use for the rear? I've read here about guys using the front splash shields for the rear...after some cutting. I've never seen pics, though. I've been thinking about getting another set and trying it because those small factory pieces don't make me happy.

No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

Do you have information as to what years might interchange after 1979? I do have a set from a 75 that I am saving, have seen plenty of 80's models with fender liners in my local junkyard but have not wanted to spend the 20 bux to find out if they would "fit".

... None ...

The splash shields were factory installed on 1976/79 F100/350 & 1978/79 Bronco. Could be retrofitted to 1973/75 F100/350.

The entire truck changed in 1980, no frame and body parts were the same, so no splash shield from a 1980 thru today truck or 1980/96 Bronco will work.

Yes, there are/were screws that went through holes on the fender lip and into the plastic splash apron to secure it.

I have a nasty looking pair that I removed from my "77 parts truck that I hope to use on my '76 F-150. However, I might be interested in a good repop if such a thing is available at a decent price. Anyone know?

Wow, they actually did go up to 140 EACH, just looked at the online catalogue, but that is a lot of oil based plastic to make that piece so...

They are aftermarket ones formed for the rear, bought them from J C Whittney in the '90s.
