Looking for splash shields

[chalet2506]

Anybody know where to get a set? Talking about the ones under the front fender that keeps crud from blowing back from the engine bay into your doors. I ordered the seal part, but must have tossed the metal part that screws to the cab. Can't seem to find a set new anywhere.

I don't think I used anything with the new seal. Just screwed it in place. I think that old metal piece was just reinforcement because the old seal was that tar paper stuff

That's odd. Screw holes in these new rubber seals don't match the holes where the old metal support was screwed. If I do poke holes in the new seals and use the old screws it will be screwed flat to the cab and not do any good. I figured the metal part was to stick the seal out at a right angle to the cab and block the flow of crud from the engine bay. Maybe I'm remembering this wrong.

Got this on the other cheby board. Its for a 66 truck, but If I remember right are rigs have the same type setup.

Sideways pics, but this is what I'm talking about.

Well you probably are right, but I still think I just screwed the new ones on. I will look tomorrow and take a picture.

Yep I guess I just riveted them on

Cool, you gave me an idea. Have some old mud flaps laying around that are made out of thicker rubber. Think I'll try making a couple of my own. Seems like that would work better than these little flimsy ones.
