Running board color

Ford's pattern was to supply these parts in black. I don't have a 1955 reference that concretely supports this viewpoint, but I do have it for 1954. The 1954 Ford Dealer/Saleman Truck Handbook says the following. "Chassis - frame, tail lamp, wheels (except F-100 series), springs, axles, fuel tank and filler neck if frame mounted, filler cap, bumper and running boards (except Panel models) are finished in black." F-100 wheels, and Panel running boards, were body color. Stu

Also note that the filler cap was black.
