WTB, Pair of rear braces for inside short stepside fenders.
 
4 Attachment(s)
I am putting my short stepside box together and realize I have the front brace rods (There are two on each fender), but I do not have the rear ones (there is just one brace on each side in the rear inside of the fender). I found this really rusty old set and cleaned them up but would like something better. FY! they are 12 3/4" long from tip to tip. I cannot find new ones either in any of the usual sources. Thanks, george PS the last two photos show the sort of rust we have to deal with in NY state. I got the two braces shown in the first two photos off this truck. One is OK but the other is super rough.

Are these that rare?

Would these work?

Thanks for the info, but they are too long at 15". These are the ones that go to the front part of the fender. Two in front and one in the rear. I need the 13" that goes in the rear.

Ok. Got it. I was confused by your description because I would call the braces that have the nuts welded to them center braces instead of front braces. There are a total of four braces per side. Are you also missing the front brace that attaches to the chassis? One end is threaded and it attaches to the frame rail with two nuts.

I am learning as I go. i did not know there was a front brace that attaches to the chassis. That explains a few things for me. I am missing those two also. There is the remains of one still attached to my frame. I always wondered what it was. So now I am missing 4 all together.
