my local Vol Fire Department needs help locating a passenger side/right running board for their 1953 Ford F600 Fire Truck, this was the first truck purchased when the Department started in 1953, the truck was at a funeral service at grave yard when it started sliding on wet grass and rolled over, we have most of it repaired but can't find a running board for the right side, its the short running board 42 inches long, from end of front fender to end of cab. trying to get it done by the 4th of July parade

can anyone help or direct me to someone who can, I have googled, search internet for days now, the ones I have found are either to rusted out or bent.

Will a 1968 f 500 fit.

 

dan, try mid fifties ford out in arizona. i think they are in golden valley, but not positive. should be able to google them.

 

tried mid 50's, LLC, Dennis Carpenter, and any others that google mentioned, only have reman F100 stuff,
someone offered a 60's f700 and from measurements it would have to be cut, folded, something to consider if nothing else can be found.
Thanks guys, time is getting close.

 

I bought a pair local junkyard $10 from a F800 in the 1980s. I wizzed off about 3" off the
top migged up the bolt holes and nobody will ever know. I think you will be good with
any 1970s and up.

 

these boards can be hard to find.
I hope you can track one, or two?
