Pretty much juts function. If I didn't have to have chains I probably wouldn't.

Flat ground they're fine, but any mud or snow of any significance, the tires do try and eat the mudflaps in reverse (they put up a pretty good fight lol). It would definitely rip the rubber off the mounts before anything else though.
Kinda the same reason the mud flaps on our dump trailers at work have chains on them. Fold it up and hold down the chain when dumping so the tires dont rip them off.

I also think that any mud flaps from a random farm store or truck repair shop look right at home on an older truck. You know, the type that simply state the name of the company and the town they are in.

I wish I could find a set of these again.
This is on a topper I got last year.

If you want to pretend your truck is related to a big rig you can use the front flaps from a tractor. They're sized for a single wheel. When we got these the Bulldog was painted white, but I'm not as inclined to make the truck look all "Macky" these days.

We used to do a lot of work for one of the local dealers. Not as much today, and Macks are frikin' Volvos now anyway.
