Running boards

Been looking online but having a little trouble finding what i want. Does anybody know if anybody still makes a wheel to wheel diamond aluminum running board for 91 extended cab f250 long bed? I see them in the junkyards and on trucks driving around. the ones at the junkyard i have found were mangled up. I do know LMC sells a 2 piece one but if i can i would like to get a 1 piece. Also it was a good week at the junkyards for me found 2 spare injection pumps a 6.9 style filter housing and a 7.3 housing a good plain ford tailgate and a couple of really nice bucket seats my old one had a gangster lean.

IMO you really don't want a one-piece running board wheel-to-wheel. As you drive through dips and into driveways, etc., the frame flexes and the bed and cab may not necessarily line up at all times. Having a one-piece running board that spans that entire distance is, to me, just asking for it to crack and break.

i agree. they stopped making the one piece units because of this. the cab and body sections have to be separated otherwise they will kink and eventually crack at the cab/bed space due to frame flex because the rear section of the frame flexes differently from the front/cab section
