Tim, yes its for my panel. I have looked at those you posted a link to and almost ordered them on an order a week or so ago. I'm not cheap by any means but $150 for both sides is a killer.

...I also plan to "try something" that most will probably think it won't work but hey, I like trying things. I do not want to drill holes in the running boards so I've decided to put some strips of 3-M weatherstip material on top of the running board ribs and then lay the step plate on top of it and press it down. That box of 3-M stuff I have is pretty darn "sticky" and I think it will hold up under the plats real good. If I want to I can always change the plates...If I can't find what I'm looking for I may go ahead and use the diamond plate just to have something there and change it later. I'm thinking cut it and then round the corners.

Dang it, if I could recall who's truck, here on stovebolt, I'd be set. In fact its where I got the idea. It looked nice and trim. I also "read once" a simple way to make a plate looked "brushed" but its in a box somewhere since I retired and we moved!!!

I'll hijack my own thread here. Where do you get the shiny stuff rodders put on the firewall and looks like a mirror? That is SORT of what I'm looking for....but I've seen it "brushed" but never thought to ask anyone. I guess maybe I'll have to wait till cruise season and ask someone who has it.

Hate to make this post so long but maybe you understand better??
Thanks for being patience with me guys!

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
