The Winter Truck!
#16
Dmanikowski - where are you located? my dad put it on CL and as soon as I heard that, I told him to take it off, that I wanted it! I don't know how long it was on there, but. telling me that people were trying to get it for $200-$300! He had it listed for $500 ($400 without battery or topper )...

I was also thinking of putting aluminum running boards like that, but go full length, just so I can add lights in them, but since this is a winter truck, those running boards are bad for trapping salt and will rot the cab out, so i'm just going to cut out inserts into my tube runners and add lights in those.
but my silver truck that didnt have them had the front fenders rusted through behind the wheels w/ only 65k mi

The best thing to do with those running boards is leave a small gap between the body and board to allow cleaning.
And I'm not surprised the fenders were rotten since it didn't have running boards. All the crap from the tire kepted hitting the fender/cab floor, scratching paint, and rust starts that way.
That's why on all my trucks, they all have long mudflaps.
Got my 2 front ones installed on my winter truck tonight, painted them white
Still need to find some for the rear though.
