Running Board Splash Aprons

Are 28-29 running board splash aprons the same as 31? I know 30's are 2 piece but will work on a 31.

Re: Looking for 31 splash aprons

Re: Hard freeze coming

It's 14* right now in Axtell Texas. Got some Pestone green in mine. Going to be in the 70's again next week. I'm off work all next week so I will put a few miles on mine.
