Anyone know where I can find them? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 640 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 640 | I'm not sure what these braces might be. Could you describe them? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 637 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 637 | Must mean the channel shaped brace that is attached to the fender by a couple of rivets on one end and one of the fender bolts on the other. Kind of shaped like a boomerang but more bend to it. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 11 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 11 | Yep, thats the one. Iv'e seen the front ones sold, not the rear ones though. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,961 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,961 | I think they are actually part of the fender and I have never seen them sold seperatly because usually nothing happens to them. However these guys would know. http://www.oldchevytrucks.com/cgi/htmlos.exe/start.htm | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,703 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 1,703 | AJ,
