splash guard? like a mud flap for under the radiator (almost like a skid plate) or the little rubber skirts on the inside sides of the fenders?

Its really tough to design a skid plate for these trucks that work effectively. Your dealing with a solid axle front end that moves around a lot as well as tie rods and such.
On a IFS skid plates are doable because there is nothing to interfere.

i made this up for a splash guard for my mud truck
i took two diffrent air elements that we had laying around a 16" (top) and a 14" (bottom) took a cookie sheet and cut out strips about 2.5" wide if i can remember right
i had to bend the back side in a little to make room for the distributor. have a friend that swore his ford kept cutting out cause things where getting wet when he was mudding. i took it off my truck and put it on his and his truck turned into a chevy lol and made it through with no problems
