Running boards
Anyone know of vendors that sell new running boards for a 1956 F250 long bed ?

What happened? Did you damage them driving it up on the car carrier twice?

I have wood running boards on it now the steel ones where to far gone to fix . The buyer asked about getting new boards and I thought if he bought them and sent them to me I would put them in the back of the truck and save him shipping to NZ .

These aren't new, and the brown color must be gold instead of rust.

Are these from Mid Fifty long enough? The description says they're steel.

We just got a few extra pairs in the other day, usually we are out and they are a special order.

They are not ribbed though..

Do you really think they would still be in the bed after arriving in New Zealand from the trucking and ship docks? I don't think so !!!!!!

Why not? a friend of mine shipped a truck to austrailia and had new hub caps, tires, rims and a bunch of repro parts in the bed and they all made it ok

Crime statistics show shipping docks have the highest rate of theft than any other location or industry. Maybe luck will be with an old Ford truck - that would be great for all concerned.
