Fleetside Fender Braces
Does anyone have pictures that show where they mount? Next step in build. And haven't had any luck finding this information. Help appreciated. Don't have access to Photo Bucket.
Thanks, Smitty

Re: Fleetside Fender Braces
I need this eventually too. My truck has saddle tanks on both sides, and they take up space where I think they would mount in front of the wheel. So I'm planning to install some after I ditch the tanks.

Re: Fleetside Fender Braces
Not a great picture, but it shows the 2 support rods and the supports that look kind of like a mud flap that sits on back side of wheel wells. Not sure if long bed is the same as short bed. Both front and rear braces had factory weld nuts where they attach to the bed floor cross members.

Re: Fleetside Fender Braces
Hi Smitty,
Just wondering if you ever got all the specs you needed for the fleetside fender support rods? I am to that point now with my truck and am looking for some good pictures of how and where they mount. Thanks, Rob. |

Re: Fleetside Fender Braces
These are what I was able to get with my Ipad on the garage floor. My pictures aren't as good as the two posted. Only have one on the front. The gravel guard on the back serves the same purpose.
