They’re not mud flaps. This thread labeled them such for lack of a better term. Their intent was to promote the aerodynamics for the truck....they look hideous and probably add .01% fuel savings.

Give a 14 y/o $4 worth of oracal satin black vinyl and 15 minutes, this is what he comes up with.

Cleaner look without the "granpa" mud flaps hanging down.

Are these available to buy yet?

I'm not sure they are the OP's design or not, but I got mine here.

WAY too much money for what you get, but I *needed* the back ones.  I added an AMP bed step and depending on the installation hit either the running board or rear Aero flap.  I removed the flaps, but couldn't stand the look of the holes so I bought these.

 

I only used the rear, so if anyone needs just the front pcs, I may sell those...

These don't work on the rear.  The rear holes are oblong slots....

Cool.  I couldn't gauge the size.  

 

The website says they are for the front only.  I've already spent the money and installed the others, so no crying for me now, but I wish I had seen these.

Lol I didn’t read that...thankfully not paying attention didn’t bite me in the butt. They do fit a little tight in the rear but still fit.

    • Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks. 
    • With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece. 
    • are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.
    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
