The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - NY WTB, Pair of rear braces for inside short stepside fenders.

**georgieb51** · 05-22-2021, 05:23 PM

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.
