1986 GMC Dually pickup mud flap help...
Tried to get my truck inspected today and it failed due to no mud flaps. So I need to get some and mount em, what have y’all done and where did you buy em.
Thanks |

Last Dually I had I went to the IH dealership & bought one $8 rubber mudflap & cut it in two.

I've never heard of having to have mudflaps to pass inspection. Of course, we don't have vehicle inspections here in TN so, maybe that's why I've never heard of it. But I'm curious. What's the reasoning behind it?

That's absurd. If it has a pick up bed on it, mud flaps should not be needed. I could understand if it was some kind of flat bed.
The truck didn't come new with mud flaps. |

It is illegal in texas for dual wheel trucks to not have mud flaps. We can have lots of guns and fun diesel trucks and drive around with 12" and 44s if we want to. Mud flaps are ok with me.
Those ones you ordered will be just fine. |

In a hundred years I never actually thought that I could throw anything out between the wheels of my dualies. I used to run several of them with my landscape biz. Fortunately it never happened.
I have one dually now and I think I'll get some mudflaps for it. ...you know... just to be safe. It certainly isn't expensive and doesn't hurt a thing once they're on the truck. Maybe I can get some made up that say: "Welcome to Tennessee, where the moonshine's over the Smokies in gallon jugs." LOL |

Not required here,but I have them anyway.
I was once driving down I-10 and there was a dump truck way up ahead. I thought I was far enough behind to not be hit with anything when a chunk of wood came out of the rear wheels and broke my windshield! It did have mudflaps too! Probably why they have those signs that say "stay back 300 feet"! Mike.:chevy: |

Ya know... when that's all it takes to get a damned ticket, I AM glad I live in TN. I understand the reasons for this law or THAT law... but when every dog gone Barney Fife is out there writing a ticket at every opportunity JUST to write tickets, it's no surprise when the constanbulary of the U.S. wonders why they they don't get the respect they feel they are due.
Good people try SO hard to respect the police and work within the legal and ethical boundaries. They try to help. Then some turd for brains knight in social armor comes along with his own personal agenda and undoes years of goodwill and honorable intentions in a matter of minutes. Ahh.. America! What a country! LOL I find that, as I get older and older, I just keep a lower and lower profile. ROTFLMAO |

If they are targeting it right now, odds are some accident happened due to it and they all have had it drilled into their heads to be on the lookout for it.

In California I'm not required to have flaps because it didn't come with them.
