Somewhere I recently saw some rubber pads while searching for something else online and now I cannot find them. What do some of the rest of you do? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2017 Posts: 480 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2017 Posts: 480 | As a suggestion, I used rubberized brush on bed coating on the running boards of my 53 one ton. Not to protect the paint so much as to keep me from slipping while climbing in.

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur ( https://timwhiteblues.imgur.com/ ). I live way back in the woods in the Ozarks on 40 acres at the end of a 2 1/2 mile private road. Tim
