don't know bout using diamond plate but i call our local metal fab shop minus the cost of the steel i can have new boards bent to the original specs on their break for 39 for both side originals are in good shape so i will recoupe the money spent on the new ones by putting the old ones on ebay grin and plus much more so i don't see why they couldn't bend diamond plate the same way i just prefer the smooth look

I used 13 gauge smooth steel and since steel checker plate is available down to 2.5 mm or roughly the same thickness I don't see why it won't work for you.

Why not have the center plasma cut out and have someone bead roll some new sheet metal and weld it back in!

Does anyone have (or know where to find) any replacement running boards for a 1968 LWB stepside?

I would like to find NOS, but no luck so far.
