Default Need Help. Front fender braces and inner fender aprons

Any help would be appreciate. I am restoring a 1948 ford 2 door sedan. I am missing the inner fender aprons/braces/parts. Could someone point me in the right direction on where i can buy the needed braces and inner fender aprons? Also, does anyone have a picture of the inner fender aprons and braces that are need to secure the front fender?

I also need running boards or a website to order these running boards.

Any help would be appreciate. I need to order some new parts and I am not sure where to find those parts at.


Thank you,
Aaron

I look on bob drake website and they did not have any for 1948 fords. Just for 41. Any other websites to check/call? I should note that I primarily need the inner fender aprons which are not on the website

47Merc's link above show Drake's '42-'48 front along with the L/H & R/H rear braces/aprons. The pictures look similar to the stock panels I have on my '47.

The fender aprons are different for the 1948 with factory tube shocks.
