I don't run any shields on my front brakes and have never had any problems. But I know I've seen them at Napa before.

Sylver is right. They aren't mandatory. I know people who have gone without them for years without any brake related problems. Plus, you'll have to take your rotor off just to put on a dust shield. This would be an easy part to find in a junkyard, but you'll still have to take the rotor off the junk car unless it's already removed. If you're obsessive about your truck like me and want it anyways, call NAPA as Sylver recommended. Don't bother using their website, because it doesn't have F-150 as a vehicle choice. I dunno why.
