Skid plates?
Hey guys, I was wondering, was the only skid plate available for these trucks just for the gas tank? I want to equip my truck it but also would like to have my transfer case and transmission covered as well. Don't know if it's possible for there to be one for the front diff since the whole thing swings but does anyone know of aftermarket skid plates for these trucks? I've only been able to find the factory gas tank ones on lmc so far: LMC Truck Parts - Page 115

I don't know about all years, but both 89's I have had the skid plates. They installed on the front gas tank, the transfer case, and the rear gas tank. I took mine off, and don't have any use for them, but they would be heavy to ship.

Here is a link with some photos of my junk yard find.
Never did install the ones over the rear tank as they replace the current straps holding in the rear gas tank, also my spare protects the tank anyway.

Thanks for the info! I saw a 92-96 f150 in the junk yard yesterday while I was there that had the offroad package, I might go check it out and yank them for my 82 as my truck spends a lot of time in the woods and I don't like not having the protection in there. I'll try and get it done over the weekend.
