I like the plates Rick's got on ... all the "Chevy" plates I've seen are way too small for my taste -- seems like you'd miss 'em half the time!
I've been concerned about this, too ... I'm gonna be painting my truck soon and I don't want to be steppin' on my freshly painted running boards - I wear cowboy boots with steel cleets on my heals!
I'm thinkin' about putting wooden strips that match the wood I use in the bed (when I re-do my bed this winter). I'm also considering screwing them in from the bottom of the running board, plus putting RTV under the wood when I screw 'em in -- that should keep the water from getting underneath, and screwing from under the runningboards will keep water from seeping down the screws, eh?
It's either that, or securing rubber strips with an epoxy or something (no screws at all).
