Front finders/ or what are they called.

while test driving a 2003 3500 I found I couldn't see where the front of the truck really was.<br> :P My new 2003 3500 4x4 will be here soon and I would like to know where to get a set of fender finders/guides. The crome post with the amber lites on top. I back a trailer of some kind {boat, equipment tri axel, boat and travel trailer} a lot so I want to be able to tell where the front of the truck is.<br>Thanks<br> ;D Al

I've got eight right now. You can go to www.yesterdaystractors.com and do a search under Joel Williams in the Tractor Photos section to see all of mine.<br><br>Did you check out the A&amp;W Direct site? They have pretty much everything you can think of for towing or hauling.

Re:Front finders/ or what are they called.

Reckon I have been lucky all theese years - ain't ripped a bumper off yet. Spent more time backing up tobacco trailers to the bulk barns than going forward in my pre-driver's license days. All of that practice has come in handy over the years.<br><br>Does the new body style have that much of a front bulge to keep you from seeing the corners? <br><br>I know I had to get used to the 96 after about 250K miles in 78 and 82 Dodge pickups.

Oh ya the front just drops off on the 2003 model 2500 &amp; 3500. You see the leaf screen cover over the wiper transmission and about 6&quot; to 8&quot; of hood and thats it.<br>I've never had much of a problem backing up anything either before. Lots of pratiace with a cab over Pete (400 big cam cummins) and 45' trailer in a past life.<br>Going to check the AW site right now. <br>;D Al

:P The force is for us belivers, but when you get as old as I am it flickers in and out, so I need rookie sticks ;D for the front. I've got a big rear so if I loose some NBD. :'( Didn't find any at the AW site, did order a catalog which might have some in them.<br> ;D Al

Re:Front finders/ or what are they called.

The catalouge has them, they send me one about every month since I buy a good bit from them. If you don't find them, let me know. I will look it up and send you the part number.

Re:Front finders/ or what are they called.

Find you a good lookin brush guard. Looks better, protects the truck, and you can tell where the front is. ;D
