Thanks,
Roy!

What size and year truck? It might be easier to find a set than make one.
Regards,
John

I have made a few "small" changes. It would be great if I could find a set but not hopeful of that. I already had the spare 1/2 ton boards. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 224 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 224 | If you're really set on fabricating, check the LMC truck catalog, they had some dimensions there. But I think you might find someone willing to sell a set for a decent price if you post in the Parts Wanted section.

They are 39 1/8 inchs from front to back, along the lip that sticks up on the inside edge. Sorry, I don't have a good picture handy. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 49 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 49 | Thanks, Dirty! I found a pair advertised on the auction site with pics. Your dimensions give me everything I need.
