There are 3 or 4 factory drilled holes at the door area that could secure a plate or guard for stepping on. Anyone have any ideas??? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 261 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 261 | You could spray on a clear coat of the stone chipping guard that is used on the exterior painted fender and rocker panels. Good boy paint store would have it.

I saw a site on the links www.runningboardmats.com but it didn't go anywhere. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 640 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 640 | Islandhoppers, I have a set that I haven't put on my truck yet. If you want, I can email you a few pictures of them.

You could also fabricate one out of diamond plate aluminum, but that wouldn't look stock. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 513 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 513 | i can't remember who it was but somebody on this site had after market factory look a like alum. step plates on their truck, and they oxidized real bad, and it oxidized into the paint on the running boards or something.

I took them after a few years and I am glad I did. The running boards were pitted bad from rust. I will not put them back on. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 1,317 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 1,317 | I've got them on my 54...sealed underneath with dumdum and although a bit pricey I'm happy with them. Got them from Classic Parts...had a choice of a couple different styles. I went with a "kick-up" (56-411). Haven't had any problem with oxidation and they have eliminated any scuffing from the running boards. Still look as good as the day I put them on.
