I have mud flaps in San Jose, CA, please help me install them.

San Jose, CA: Where to get mud flaps installed on a 2005 F-250 truck? I already have the rectangular flaps, but I need them installed.

I bought my father-in-law custom mud flaps that are rectangular, 14x22x3/8". The company did a good job with the flaps per se but provided grumpy to nonexistent service. Now I have no idea how to mount them to his 2005 F-250 truck. It's a V-10 with single rear wheel, and this seems like it would be trivial, but I can't find anyone who sells mounting hardware on Google. There are no mounting holes on the wheel well that I can see.

Is there a good mechanic or custom shop in the San Jose, California area that would take these flaps and install them? Low cost is not as important as low hassle. Thanks!

Any place that does window tinting, bed covers/liners, etc. should be able to mount them for you.

I think I'd start here at a good detailer and see if Serio's would be willing to install them or suggest a minimum-hassle someone who can. Detailers often get to know a large circle of vehicle service folks,

Response by poster: I did some more looking around on Yelp, and I found that there are truck accessory places. I ended up driving all the way out the Cow Palace to have it done by Bay Truck Accessories. Very friendly, sturdy work, though maybe 1/4" inch away from being flush with the wheel well, got it done quickly for $90 all-in. I'm extremely satisfied.
