Where can I get new fender braces?
I've got a 78 short wide bed and it currently has two fender braces that are bent. It looks like there could possibly be a spot for 4 fender braces.
How many are there exactly, and where can I get new ones? I will get a picture in just a moment.

Only two, they can be straightened with a vice and hammer.

Re: Where can I get new fender braces?
There are gravel shields on the rear of the wheel wells that act as braces.

I have used 5/16 rid heated and flattened, drilled and tapped. It's the stepside with 4 per fender

They are basically a flat piece with some ribbing that closes out he area behind the wheels. In looking through the pictures on my laptop it does not appear my '87 has them. I recall that my dad added them to his '75 (maybe his '82?) at some point during his ownership. K (1985 box shown)

It shows 00330490, but it also says it has been discontinued.

I keep a couple of used OEM sets in stock if you need one.
