The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Early 'Bolts (1916-1936 1st Half) Running Boards and splash panels

Dean (et al) ... I need some help sorting out to determine which ones to take to the sand blaster.

I have three different length running boards and two different length splash panels. Dean has already told me the smooth/fabric covered running boards are not correct. So is it safe to assume that neither are the 101-inch splash panels they are bolted to?

As for the running boards, I have three pairs (all diamond tread):

One set is 62.5 inches
Two sets are 69.5 inches

The smooth set is 101 inches.


Obviously, I could just put each set on the frame to see what fits. Well ... *anyone* could do THAT. In my case, the running board collection and the rest of the truck are not physically co-located. I could load all this up and go trial fit everything, but I was hoping to work smarter not harder ...

Any guidance here would save me time and effort.

Thanks,
John

I measured Lurch's running boards and they are 69.5 inches. ;-)

Just for the record, Justin's running boards (1928 1/2 ton truck) are 50 inches long.

Cheers, Dean

Thanks Dean!

Got them off to the sand blaster yesterday.

I wonder what those 89-inch boards (with the 101-inch splash aprons) came from? Possibly ... the hearse body I have the tag for ... ? Or a fire truck ...
