    Peterbilt makes a in btween mud flap for the steps. Longer than a quarter fender flap but short. Surely Kenworth does too

    Hah! Well, I'm just gonna pull the heater core out and put the amp in the heater box. It will keep me warm on cold days won't it @shogun ?

    I'm gonna be honest, you won't like what a man has to do to get a 10"Tx24"W step box mudflap from KW with that color and style rubber flap.
    Kenworth makes a 16" wide one only for that. Which I don't like. The hood fender flaps are 18" W. Me personally, I like the 18 on the hood, 24 wide under the step and 24 wide at the rear of the drives. To 16 wide under the step just don't look right. Sooo....here's what I did.

    Asked @Ruthless if people looked at him funny when he bought 60 dollar a piece kenworth flaps and cut them only to use the bottom 12" that says KENWORTH on them.

    He said YES...... so I knew that's what I was gonna have to do it too. LOL

    Glad you got some rain. Here’s hoping for more.

    The winter wheat around here is the worst in 16 years they say. We were dry and then had a late freeze that had us around 20 degrees for 10 hours or so. We’ve been gettin a little moisture lately but the damage has been done.

    They do, but only Australia sells them. Which sucks. I figured by the time you pay for shipping to the USA, I might as well spend the 60 a piece and pull a @Ruthless and just buy local I reckon.

    You guys remember the red KW flaps on the back of his pretty step deck?

    Well if it’s good enough for you and @Ruthless its probably too good for me. Lol.

    I really don’t need it to say Kenworth. I’ll just cut up a cheap mud flap. Just mainly wanna keep oil and junk off my tanks.

    I agree @ShooterK2 , I just used a piece of aluminum angle under the step bracket. Very simple.

    I did have the plain black ones, but my local KW man gave me a decent discount since I told him I'll buy 4. I gave 40 a piece.....still to much, but I wanted to see how it would turn out.

    I run CAT Diesel Power flaps on the front of my boxes and Peterbilt at the back.

    I get my CAT ones at truck world in Hubbard Ohio. I wanna say they had some Cummins power flaps too that would go well on your truck @ShooterK2

    That’d sure work but I don’t ever get out of my little part of the world. I’ll check online see what I can find.
