Putting my front mud flaps back on. Hardware?

I found my front mudflaps when I was looking through some boxes of stuff and thought it would be nice to put them back on since we got dumped on with snow this past week in Milwaukee. I'm missing the hardware, does anyone know what kind of fasteners these go on with? They're the basic big floppy 4wd flaps. Thanks :beer:

Really? Self taping screws, you can get them at any hardware or automotive store even Fleet Farm. You'll want the pan head style mainly used for automotive applications, or the beefier hex heads. if you get them at Autozone they are coated black.

Nah, I grabbed some of these: http://treadwright.com/Tires-31x10_5...TR_GD-P20.aspx

They've been great so far and dropping to a 31 from the 32" BFG's I was running before makes a world of difference in driveability on my truck. They're not that loud, and the green diamond technology is pretty cool. Cant beat the price either. I got BFG casings.

Nice aggressive looking tires, probably a bit louder on dry highway pavement but they look like they'll help you tear through the frozen tundra.

The screws are about 3/16 or 1/4 in outside diameter. There is a plastic retainer that the mounting screws go into, the screws have to fit pretty tight. I used short lag screws and a fender washer. Then paint black.
