About Mister Mudflap
Mister Mudflap started with a truck.
In 2019 I moved to Seattle for a new job and picked up a grandpa-fresh Ford Ranger — complete with a camper shell and even the old carpet kit still in the bed. It was the kind of truck that had clearly lived an easy life.
Not long after arriving in the Pacific Northwest, I started noticing something I had never seen growing up in Pennsylvania: old state mudflaps on trucks everywhere. Washington. Oregon. Alaska. Idaho. Many of them looked like they had been on the truck for decades. The designs were simple, bold, and unmistakably vintage — the kind of accessories dealerships and truck stops sold throughout the 1960s, 70s, and 80s.
I became obsessed. I absolutely needed these mudflaps.
The more I looked for them, the more I realized most of these mudflaps hadn’t been made in years. The originals were getting harder to find, and the few that survived were usually cracked, faded, or hanging on by a bolt.
What began as a small personal project quickly turned into Mister Mudflap — a company dedicated to recreating the rugged, vintage-style mudflaps that used to be a common sight on classic trucks across America.
Today every pair is made from a heavy-duty recycled rubber blend right here in the USA, using traditional hot-stamped graphics that capture the look and feel of the originals.
And it all started with that old Ranger.
