Mud Flaps - what to use ? Suggestions ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Green Machine · 11-10-2007, 05:22 PM

Winter's coming up and hate to drive in the snow and salt, but some good mud flaps would help. Anyone have some suggestions for something that fits the 67-72 truck well, front and back ? Some pictures would be helpful too. Thanks.

To be honest mud flaps IMHO don't look good and create a home for rust. My advice is to wash your truck more often and get the road salt and sand off your vehicle and out of your wheel well's.

I have mudflaps on my 67 gmc and they look fine. I went to the gmc dealership and got brandnew flaps for a newer model truck, I used the front flaps for the front and rear, the rear ones were kind of large.$13.00. sorry no pics

I got some "back off flaps" out back. They protect trailers, but not my truck. Up front, I have a pair of chevy embem car size flaps. I would suggest you cut the fap so that it doesn't hold more snow than your fender already does. After it is attached, scribe a line that follows the fender lip, and then remove and cut away the excess. That way you aren't creating a salt trap.

Hang the flaps from a short length of chain or cable like dump trucks and logging rigs. That way they don't hold snow, and they can move aside when thy hit something.
