Is it possible to use/cut long bed running boards on a short bed? I have a 1950 gmc and the running boards I have for it are off a long bed.

Yup, I've done this several times; remove excess from the rear end. Works great.

If you haven't cut them yet, you might try offering them on the swap meet. Long running boards are hard to come by, and you migth be able to swap into a short set, plus some cash to use on other aspects of the truck.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...

Definitely sell them. Short Bed running boards are a dime a dozen. Long bed running boards are difficult to find and you can probably make some money off of them.

I have a set of long running boards for 1947-1953 chevy. I believe they fit a 3/4 ton or 1 ton truck. What are they worth in decent shape.

Thanks, Tim

Offer then in the Swap Meet as best offer before whenever you need to sell them.
