I pulled my running boards off today. A previous owner used elevator bolts to hold them to the brackets. One side of the head was partially filed off to allow it to fit into the slot on the running board. They worked fine.
> 1/4" Elevator Bolts @ FastenalThe running board bolt kit that I bought from The Filling Station has the large head 1/4" carriage bolts discussed earlier. The bolts are referred to as "Step Bolts" in section 8.902 of the MPC. Part #128381, 1/4"-20X1". The Filling Station bolts have a bronze colored finish instead of zink. The kit has twelve bolts, nuts, lock washers, and flat washers (smaller outside diam that the ones posted by DADS50). Kit does not have the two standard 1/4" carriage bolts that go through the running board, nor does it have any of the other standard hex nuts and bolts required.
53Movinon - sorry for not responding sooner. The "cab seals mtl retainer" is the metal strip that secures the rubber seals to the cab. Note: The retainer is held in place by clutch head sheet metal screws. I did not buy the retainers; mine appear to be OK.
