How are you guys with aftermarket mudflaps attaching them? I'm looking at some 12" x 18" universal ones that are basically flat. But..looking at the truck I can't just bolt them to the fender/wheelwell. Different issue from the front to rear. Are custom homemade brackets the answer?

I work for a railroad so scrap metal is all over the place so I cut some belt material and made support straps for the top(1/8") and mounted them using the existing bolts inthe wheel well. Not overly happy with them but they work until I get some real mudflaps.
