I am wanting to replace my Fiberglass Running Boards with Reproduction Metal Ribbed Running Boards. My truck is a 1954 Chevy 1/2 ton.
There are a lot of companies selling them with various prices. I know you usually get what you pay for so I am looking for a decent quality running board.
Who have you gentlemen found to sell a good quality(sturdy)metal ribbed running board? Also, is 16 gauge(which some claim to sell), a good thickness?
Thank you in advance for your advice. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 2,168 A teacher, but always an apprentice. | | A teacher, but always an apprentice.

The profile angles provided the rigidity. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 134 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 134 | Just put a set on my 54 3100 from classic industries and they worked perfect. | | |
