Sorry... no pictures of what I am looking for.... hopefully I can describe them.

There are 4 rods that go from the bottom of the bed, just behind and in front of the wheel arches on both bedsides, to the bed floor cross sills. Mine all look like horseshoes. What are they called and where can I get them?

Thanks,

I'll give it a shot panel supports? I have seen these on many years of trucks,as far as I can tell they are just supports.To keep panels from tin canning. help?

LMC sells the rear fender braces. As far as I know, there is only one on each side.

If it were me I would make/repair my own. I think 5/16 or 3/8 rod heat with a mepp/propane torch and a hammer. Paint and install

The bed on my truck is a 67 and there is one in front and behind each wheel. I will check LMC...

I want them to be the correct length so I can make sure the bottoms of the bed sides have been pulled out to the right angle.

I think ya'll are right. The braces go on the front and the splash shields go on the back..

Yup fender braces or supports on the front edge, and skirts or mud guards on the back.

On my iPad so I didn't get the truck pic, but the blazer is the same
