Running boards clean up and installation

[SirRobyn0]

Hey @SirRobyn0 i found one of those front pieces at work in great shape but forgot to gat a pic, i will tomorrow

No big deal at all. Like I said previously I'm not in any rush at all, and it's really only the drivers side, BC it has a crack at one of the bolt holes.

Looks to me like a drivers side. Yes, I'd be interested in it. No hurry at all. The one I have right now is holding up fine. I'll send you a PM and you can let me know what you'd want for it.

To me it looks like drivers front. Ill take pics of my running boards tomorrow also, pretty sure mine have no back panel on them.

Ted @78C10BigTen I like how the rear section of your boards has a long brace that runs back to the frame. If you wanna hang on to the piece you found for yourself I'll totally understand. That's definitely a drivers side piece.

Nah i dont need it. The running boards were gunna be the first thing to go when i bought the truck but after so many engine n trans changes i grew to like them them for certain reasons. When my body work gets done they might actually need to come off. Then i dont know if ill put them back on....

"certain reasons"
Well if you don't like them for getting in and out of the truck then I'd guess tool and beverage holder.

Also i use them to pull myself out from under the truck when working under it.

I sure don't, but I can remember doing that on customer trucks when I was younger and lighter.

That's what I do on anything with running boards, that's why I took then off my truck.

Maybe if you made it kinda this shape, out of some flat stock, it might look the part like a factory peice and be even stronger.

Bonus points for a scrap piece of aluminum plate or Diamond plate to make them out of!

mounting to the body and the frame can be tricky and i suspect therocker has been yanked back and forth by that relationship
