I been noticing that the running boards/entry step into my F6 are getting scratched up. My guess is dirt and gravel stuck to the bottom of shoes. I am as guilty as the grand kids.
What has everyone done for paint or a coating that will hold up?
Yeah, some of us fix this old stuff up to drive. Driving the truck mandates stepping on the step to get into the cab. My wife likes to go with me when I drive the old trucks so she steps on the curb side step as well.
The old blue truck has been on the road a couple years, two Truckstock trips and others, several thousand miles, and the spray on bedliner is still holding up quite well on the steps. But, Blue ain't no show truck.
All is well, just "funnin"
Could some of you show me a close-up picture of your running boards with Bedliner or any other product you used to protect the boards. I'd like to see what it looks like before I would do mine.
Neither of these truck would win any shows. I built them as representative of a working truck of the era. You know, the truck you climbed up into after kicking most of the mud from your shoes. The truck where the carpet did not get muddy. The truck that you scraped the mud from the mat and maybe hosed it out. Sorry the quality of the pictures is not that great, Abe.
I used bed liner on the RB's top, bottom and other parts I would suggest masking at the connections/mating points, bed liner has thickness
I started on areas you cant see easily before the RB
I think this was in a post about screws but the bed liner with paint over note on the right hole where no bed liner the seat goes there
and bed liner won't make weld patches look any better
I may just go satin black powder coat like my wheels have been done. I also like body color running boards but, I'm not building a show truck either.
Bed liner takes a beating and I have seen different textures. Just look at truck beds to get an idea of what's out there. Most have a tag showing the brand.

That looks good, Ray. Thanks. I may have to do that for my F350 running boards.
