The portion of my running board right under my drivers side door is sagging a little and it bends when I step on it to get in. I looked under and saw that it is pretty rusted and there are no supports in that area.

Is there a good fix or do i need to have something welded in there?

My solution

 

That is awesome!!!!!! You know you are going to be asked to make more of these, and I wanted to be the first to request a set.
I am in NC.

 

Thanks for the compliment,i'll let my fab guy know. When we made them we made sure to record the measurements incase someone wanted a set

 

Sawzall solution - cut out the offending part.

 

Whats the going rate for the running boards?

 

He would like $1000 for a set

 

Anyone have any fixes for the stock Boards ?

 

Replace 'em with some used ones found on your local craigs list. I see them from time to time.

Its not so much the boards its the rusted supports underneath. Would the support package I see on fleabay work? It looks like just a bunch of L shaped brackets.

 

There's basically 3 parts. L shaped brackets are sturdy and won't rust out quickly. They attach the plastic running board and subframe to the body. The subframe is the thin steel that has rusted away in Dubb's pic. Then there's the plastic top. Some special bolts hold the plastic to the subframe. Let me try to get some pic's for you.

 

Thanks so much...

I have had the same problem. I Haven't found anything on craigslist in the Chicago area. Found a few nice nerf bars on eBay, but would like a stock board....

 

I've got the same issue. I believe I've read that Super Duty running boards will work. I see plenty of them on craigslist. If I'm wrong someone correct me.
