Front disk dust shields

I've installed a front disk brake kit on my 56 F100s straight Axle, but the kit doesn't come with dust shields. It just looks unfinished. Anybody know what can be used?


Drivers side.



Passenger side.

Looks fine to me. Dust shields in my experience have caused more issues than not.

I wondered about that myself BJ. Of course after a couple miles of driving those rotor will not be rusty. A guy could make or modify something fairly easily but is it worth it as that area is pretty hidden once the fenders are on?
