Hi guys. I have a 68 Panel and I have a question about what I think is a mud flap. I saw this picture below (not my truck) and it looks like some sort of mud flap behind the rear drivers side wheel. Did this come on the truck originally? If so, anyone know the dimensions? Is it steel? I'm guessing that Suburbans might have only have one behind the driver side wheel due to the spare tire wheel well on the passenger side.

I know that I probably won't find any originals so I think I'll just make them out of some steel. Or, maybe make them out of a semi truck mud flap? It would be great if someone can tell me a rough dimension.
Thanks
