Freightrain Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Ok, what are you guys using? I've seen some nice MACK versions that look to fit properly. I haven't found anything, even at Watts store. I want to try to save my new aluminum tanks from destruction from rocks. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Wobblin-Goblin Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I simply used old conveyor belt material. Cut it the way I wanted in a big shear. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49436-front-fender-mud-flaps-for-b-model/#findComment-366663 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I bought the old school Mack ribbed flaps that match the floor Mats from Barry. I then took a 2 by 12 and held it against the bottom of the fender and used a sharpie to trace the outline, cut the half circle out with a jig saw, went and got some 1'' aluminum angle iron and cut it about every inch and formed it around the wood then drilled 1/4 holes in it in every slot and bolted it to the bottom flange of the fender and bolted the flap on. this got away from drillin a hole thru the actual fender. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49436-front-fender-mud-flaps-for-b-model/#findComment-366674 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 My fender has the holes. The old flaps are long gone. Guess I need to make something up myself. Hmmmm.

Hobert62 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I've been thinking of doing something similar to maddog and making a wooden form of the fender. But I was going to try and make a stainless fender extension type thing. I'd like to extend them about 3" so they extend below my steps. I'm not a big fan on the flap wrapping around the outside of the fender.

Maddog13407 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 if you have the holes, maybe make some sort of bracket to space the flap out from the bottom flange of the fender Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49436-front-fender-mud-flaps-for-b-model/#findComment-366907 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Pretty sure my flaps were hanging on the inside of the fender, not the outside. Some stainless carriage bolts would make it look okay. Just need some material. Heck, even a nice piece of stainless steel formed to the fender hanging down would do okay? If you could roll a lip on the top and then bolt it to the bottom of the fender lip? Kinda like a cab extension panel. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Freightrain Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Well on FB, a fellow was selling MACK embossed mudflaps. I got a pair over the weekend and will be getting them cut down and put on.

Freightrain Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Got my flaps. Cut them to fit yesterday. Going to get some stainless hardware to hang them. I'll post pics. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Freightrain Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) Well, took pics for the tanks, but you can see the new mud flaps. Turned out nice. I used 5/16" stainless button head bolts, shimmed them away from the fender on the inside about 1/2" so they hang straight with s/s fender washers then a s/s washer and s/s nylok to hold them on.

Popular Post harrybarbon Posted May 17, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2017 We got these locally 24 inch wide, with the doggie pointing in both directions, so when fitted his head could be inwards or outwards on both sides. We had to cut the inside top corner to clear the fenders. We used a s/s strap to bolt onto the fender. For a bit of extra support/stiffing of the fender and cab extension join, and to fill in the open gap we got 2 Peterbilt fender steps modified to fit the fender shape and slotted in a Mack emblem to make the steps look like Mack made steps and we painted same color as truck. Emblem is bit hard to see - sorry. As they are same color as tanks and rest of truck they are not noticed, but the white mudflaps catch the eye 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49436-front-fender-mud-flaps-for-b-model/#findComment-370010 Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrybarbon Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Yes we could arrange to mail these to you in US of A, where are you located, we could ask the our Aussie mail cost, it can be slow sea mail or mail post, cheaper than DHL or the other couriers.

harrybarbon Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 We also painted the white both sides with a flexible clear coat with same flex additive as used on curtain sides paint, works real good Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49436-front-fender-mud-flaps-for-b-model/#findComment-370470 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel2 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 The front fender rear mud flap for a B-61 (regular B-model) was a 117QM185, attached with 130AX258 screws using a 71RU11084 retainer.
