Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 12 Member | | Member Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 12 | i am rebuilding the bed on my 53 from parts i have acquired here, there and every where. My question is can the fenders be mount and mounted strong enough for driving with out the runningboard attatched? My runningboards are pretty tough. I have a set of runningboards from a dump truck of this time frame that are in great shape that are on the truck now because the truck came with a flat plywood bed. I just don't have the money to buy new ones and they are almost to far gone for patches. Any help would be great.

Anyway, I'm selling beds, fenders, and the running boards, see my ad in the SWAP MEET, since there ain't no selling here on the Forum!!!

It wobbled long enough to start a crack which turned into a tear which caught on the snow chains which tore it bad which caused much swearing which led to sore toes from kicking defenseless truck.
