BROKEN NERF BAR BRACKETS

'01 F350. Front and rear brackets on passenger nerf bar are broke (there are three per side). Can't seem to find replacements Googleing. I know they are a Ford item 'cause of markings on them. But are likely put on after original sale. Sticker on bracket has numbers and "assembled on Mar 3, 2003".

If you are talking about the aluminum running board mounts for the tube style running boards you can ship them to me (include return shipping) and I can weld them for you. I fixed two of mine that I broke four years ago and still going strong.

I don't think the brackets are sold separately from the tubes at Ford. I broke mine a number of years ago and just drilled holes in the brackets and used some metal and 1/4 grade 8 bolts to piece them back together. I would have to look, but I think I just used some 1 inch wide strap iron to repair them. They have held for 5-6 years. Even with a heavy, 280+ lb., friend of mine crawling in and out on occasion. I used 4 bolts on each bracket. 2 on each piece of the broken bracket.
