Mud Flaps
I would like to install and hang some mud flaps on my new F-350 dulley.......but.I ordered some mud flaps,and when I looked at my new truck and the mounting hardware they sent me,it aint gunna work as their directions say how to mount them.These are the problems I am faced with.The dulley wheel skirts are fiberglass and dont provide a good mounting surface or structure for mounting the flaps to.No problem making my own mounting bracket,but I see no place to come off the frame to hang the bracket.The leave springs would be in the way of the bracket,and cause a interferance when the springs compress.I might be able to mount the bracket from the bed floor,that seems pretty beefy to hold the bracket.Anyway I would appreciate your feedback and sugjestions with this project.If you want please e-mail me with pics or any help you can give me.
Thanks Guys,this is a good place to be.

I would check the laws in your area to see just how far down the flaps need to go, then "dry fit" your flaps to get the desired location.
Dry fit means - hold the flaps in place, then make a mark on the frame rail and across the inner fender so you'll know where to install the bracket.

have you looked at HUSKY lately? I bought the s/s series and they match the screwholes of the inner liner and have the stainless insert. VERY SHAP. I didnt care for the "molded" version but the S/S definetly eye catching.
