1963 step plate

Hello,
Have a question on the 63 ford step plate and parts. I have seen in the past where you could buy the step plate along with the brace for underneath the step. Went to order the running board step plate and could not find the brace. Thought there was 4 parts, running board step, the brace,the rocker and the kick plate. Looked thru LMC, BOTP, NPD,MACS and Mid Fifty catalogs. Could not find the step brace. My brace is not good. Where do I look for one at and what do you use or make for a your brace. Thanks again Everyone.

Are you talking about the brace that supports the step that attaches to the floor or the panel that runs underneath the step?

Reviving this thread. These parts are available from Dennis Carpenter.
But beware, the step plate doesn’t exactly fit the contour of the well. Obviously, it’s just a bit more fab work to get it to fit right.


The black part was a bit thin and because of the offset at the ends, there was a small gap when the two pieces were assembled. I decided to fill that gap and reinforce the step with a piece of 16ga.


I’ll add a few more pics tomorrow when I get a bit further along.

I plug welded the three pieces together today


Had to reshape the back part of the well just a little


Not welded in yet but with a little massaging it fits a lot better. I’m going to sandblast it before I weld it in
