I was just wanting some opinions on running boards for a 50 F-1. Where is the best place to buy'em. Going to bite the bullet and spend the coin. Wanting steel not glass.

 

not cheap!

 

I've noticed. Best place i've found is MACs, but unsure of the quality.

 

yeah, I only said that cuz I knew that most repros are fiberglass. Steel is typically twice the price.

 

Try these guys.
SMOOTHIE FABRICATION STEEL RUNNING BOARDS

 

Sac Vintage Ford sells the steel repro's made in Canada, they are first quality. Available smooth or ribbed. I think several vendors sell the same ones, someone closer might save you on shipping. Very true to the original design. Quality is never cheap, but you'll likely never have to buy another set.
