Red face running boards

Looking for Eddie Bauer running board brackets for my 1995 f150.
Any one have any?

They are nearly impossible to find. I would just fabricate some. It should be fairly simple to do.

Texas, wouldn't in theory of course exploder running boards more or less hook up to our trucks, and Im talking same model year exploders....most the exploders and F-series used interchangeable parts engine wise and some body parts like head lamps and all....grills too...least, what I can remember the exploder grills looked like they could just bolt in place at least...

If you read the original post, it seems he has the running boards, and is looking for BRACKETS.. I suppose rust got the better of them or he bought running boards that were missing the brackets...

I know the OP said he had the boards, I was also asking more in line with my truck what could fit as im kinda interested in finding some my self...as for parts, LMC or NPD might have something, not sure, kinda doubt it but its worth a try I think.

I've got some. Came off this truck....and all the hardware.

If memory serves me there are 4 attachment points on each side - 2 are tubular brackets welded to the boards and flattened on the end the other 2 are U-shaped brackets, 2 bolts each bracket.

Seems to me a guy could use thin Unistrut for the U-shape replacements (if you know what that is). Used in commercial construction to hang conduit and plumbing pipes. Home Depot or Lowes cheap. Bolts were hex/cap type 3/8"x24.

Honestly, it seems like more of a hassle than they are probably worth - to me anyway. They must weigh 50-60 lbs plus hardware, then the packaging and the shipping, and the running around, etc, etc.

If you lived down the street - I'd sell them in a heartbeat. Wouldn't sell the mounting stuff separate, though.

I'm in Kansas City.


Not to hijack, but I also put some Bushwacker flares on to hide the rust. Look great to me.
