Here in rural Northern Indiana they are still junkyards. There are many small yards around here that have these trucks rusting away. I'm widening my fenders and running boards 2". I got a set of OEM running boards that the brackets were rusted bad enough that you didn't need a wrench just a yank to get them off and the edges were banged in but the main tread was fine for the most part. He wanted $10 for the pair. I gave him $20. He's just a good old boy making a living. He lives on the property with a pack of various hounds that run the yard. All kinds of hounds from Coon Hounds to Blood Hounds to Basset Hounds that he bought from me. He doesn't have a theft problem. It's like something out of the movies. There is at least 6 such places within 30 minutes of me and they all know who has what and will send you their way. No internet required. As cool as that is $35 and the click of the mouse doesn't sound that bad. Has anyone used them here? do they match? What is the gauge? I saw a you tube video of a guy body working some AD running boards that he said were OEM. I measured mine with a cheep gauge card at 14 gauge. Maybe someone here knows? I'm thinking this guy must be Thor the way he moved the metal. After contacting him he said his were 16 gauge. Sorry to ramble but these might be some things to check.
Old enough to know better, too young to resist.
