What You're Actually Buying
This is a hanger and flap sold as a kit - not just brackets, not just rubber. The hanger is straight spring steel, no anti-sail bend, 1-1/8" arm diameter, 30" length. That's the common setup for trailers, dumps, and straight trucks that just need a flap to kick down behind the wheels and stay there, no fancy roll-up or breakaway feature.
Mounting is a basic bolt-up bracket, so it works across a lot of makes as long as your frame or mud flap bracket takes the 1-1/8" arm. Where guys get burned is assuming 'straight spring steel' means every 30" hanger is interchangeable - some are anti-sail (curved), some are 7/8" arm instead of 1-1/8". Doesn't matter if it's close, if the arm diameter's off the bracket won't clamp down right.
Why These Numbers Cross
A18-68484, A18-47562, and the plain 68484-000 are all the same physical part under different catalog prefixes - manufacturers relabel their own part numbers depending on which catalog or fleet account it's sold through, but the steel and dimensions don't change. 96349-003 and 02224LLR are the same story from other suppliers who private-label the identical hanger design.
The reason this crosses clean across brands is there's nothing proprietary about a straight spring steel hanger - it's a commodity shape, same as most flap rubber. What does vary between brands is thickness of the steel and the flap material (some flaps are heavier gauge rubber, some are thinner and crack in cold weather). If you're chasing the lowest price, ask what the flap thickness is before you buy, not just whether the number crosses.
Surest way to confirm before you order: pull the old hanger off and measure arm diameter and hole spacing on the mounting bracket, or if there's a part number stamped on the flap or hanger, read it off and match against what's listed here. VIN won't help you here since this isn't a VIN-specific part - it's aftermarket bracket hardware, so bracket dimensions are what matter.

Frequently asked questions
Does A18-68484 fit my Freightliner straight truck?
Probably, but confirm arm diameter first. This is a 1-1/8" straight spring steel hanger - if your Freightliner's mud flap bracket is built for 1-1/8" arm and you don't need anti-sail (curved) style, it'll bolt in. Pull the old hanger and check the diameter and hole pattern before you order, since flap bracket setups vary even within the same truck model year to year.
Is A18-68484 the same as A18-47562?
Yes - same hanger and flap kit, just a different catalog number from the same manufacturer's numbering system. Steel gauge, arm length, and flap size are identical. If you've got A18-47562 cross-referenced from an old parts list, this is the current equivalent.
What's the difference between this and an anti-sail hanger?
Straight spring steel just holds the flap flat and lets it flex back on its own spring tension. Anti-sail hangers have a curve or bend built in to keep the flap from flapping out sideways at highway speed. If your old hanger had a visible bend to it, you want the anti-sail version, not this straight one - check the old part before swapping types.
