  Hello Jim & OleTruckers,

  I measured lower rear fender braces replacement parts (not yet installed)
from the former Chevy Duty.

  Made of 3/8" steel rod.

  Each end is flattened to 3/16" thick for a length of 1-1/16", with a 3/8"
hole drilled in the center of the flattened portion. Each end is bent
(sharply) to about 30 degrees from the axis of the rod. The bent ends are in
the same plane, but one end is bent up & one is bent down.

  The round rod, from sharp bend inside corner to sharp bend inside corner is
10-3/8" long.

  I don't know how much the end flattening elongates the rod, but if you add
the 10-3/8" round portion of the rod to the two 1-1/16" flattened ends, you
get an approximate material length of 12-1/2".

  Hope this helps.
