Mud Flaps
source for mud flaps
believe it of not Ford has an aftermarket website that has the little goodies that do not come on the vehicles such as locking gas caps, overhead rail system options and mud flaps
this site covers all the various Ford vehicles
site is called FORDACCESSORIES.COM
I looked and they have molded mud flaps for the F series both with and without the Ford emblems. The are molded to fit the specific vehicle
They even have locking gas caps for the F150's. I has asked about to a local FORD dealer's parts manager, who is pretty knowledgeable on obscure parts.
Since I work for a municipal government we have to secure all kinds of parts for older little used pieces of equipment usually found in large cities. We have a 1974 Ford C1000 pumper tanker that has a 534 cu in engine with a hugh 4-barrell Holley carbarator, the parts counter boys told our garage parts folks that it was no longer avilable and we needed to get rid of the truck. They called me and I decided to call the Ford dealers parts manager, he called Holley and got us one overnight, he did not charge us the overnight charge as his people should have done better. They looked in a book but did not research
He was surprised when I showed him the locking caps on Fordaccessories.com especially when I know he had asked because several of our departments were losing fuel when trucks were parked at home,
he had a lot of people wanting but his sources said no such part, he now stocks and avarages about 12-15 caps per week to various owners

I have the "official" Ford flaps available through your dealer parts counter and love them. I'm pretty sure you can see them in some of the pictures in my gallery. They fit well and I've had no problems so far. I did change the mounting method though. Instead of the (supplied) plastic Christmas tree fasteners, mine are held on with all stainless steel hardware. I also sealed the gap between the fenders and flaps with black RTV It keeps the salt out and makes for a very clean looking installation.

MOSS MOTORS (F150store.com) whose ad pops up at the top of the page also has the mud flaps both with and wihtout the Ford emblem.
when I posted earlier I had not totally gone through the MOSS MOTORS site, but their catalog came in the mail and the first thing I saw was that they too have the mud flaps

sorry to dig this up.....
I really hate to dig up an old post like this, but I just didn't want to create a whole new one when there were topics already made on the subject. I've got a couple of questions, and it's about the installation. I know they say that some minor drilling may be required on some models, so will the mudflaps for an 05 FX4 require me to do any drilling or are they able to be simply secured with pre-existing holes? I sort of don't want to dill through any part of the metal body regardless of location, but am willing if need be. The reason I'm asking this is because later on I might take them off.
thanks....
thanks....
