| | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 103 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 103 | I installed the running board brackets onto my frame which is a 41 3/4 ton special, but the running board does not line up with the mounting holes on the bracket closes to the front of the truck. I don't remember any kind of shim to angle the bracket & I checked my pictures from dis assembly, but don't see any type of shim. I probably should of taken better pictures, anyway can anyone help me out. Thanks James
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

Make sure the brackets are in the correct location. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 103 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 103 | My brackets are all the same.

If you your brackets are all the same the running boards will not lineup with the front fenders. Can send you a photo if you want.
