I've used them on two trucks that i've built. They really save the paint on the running boards. They are made of light weight sheet metal, but still are strong enough for the meant purpose. They are attached by about 9 threaded pegs that come down from the backside. You must drill your running board EXACT to match the pattern of the tread plate. What i did was put some white out on the tip of every peg and while it was still wet, set it down on the running board to make the mark for your drill holes.
There is no padding. I guess you can make your own, if you can roll the edge like the ones that are available. I think the top is nothing more than emerycloth. If you want a couple of pictures, let me know and i can send them within a few days. I can't take a picture of the backside, but i'll shoot the top for you. Cecil.........
