However, we need to know if what your looking for is the round rod braces or the big fender brace that attaches to the radiator support piece..I call it the horseshoe. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2013 Posts: 7 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Feb 2013 Posts: 7 | Good morning--it is the "horseshoe" braces that attached to the radiator support...when we got the truck the front clip was off and the braces were no where to be found-also I have never had a PM so I will have to find out why it says it is over the limit--Thanks again!

Mike is talking about the fender braces that bolt thru the fender into the radiator support and arch across the fender,behind the headlite pod and attach to the outer lip of the fender.
And Mike yes you should be able to use 47-53 braces if you can get them.
Should be the same for the entire A-D run.

steve sr.
