Black Plastic Running Boards
Does anybody have a good source for the black plastic moulded running boards. I have an 05 regular cab that didn't have them and would like to add them. I am not fond of the nerf bars personally. I had the moulded ones on my 99 and liked them better. I have checked all of the wrecking yards in a 300 mile radius of my home. I can find supercab or crew cab ones all day long. Went to Ford and they want almost $600 for them. Don't mind going this route if I have to. Any help is appreciated.
If you have a set you took off and want to get rid of them, email me.

I'd go with OEM and those are on ebay sometimes too. I had chrome tubular on my last truck and loved them, but I was always trying not to scratch them. The molded look great, give better clearance and you don't have to tread lightly. Luckily, my new truck came through with the molded...

I have the Westin steps on my '01. They look like the factory ones, 'til you look close enough to see the name on them. Stout, too - I'm a big guy, and they hold me up just fine. Can't help you out on the price since they were on the truck when I got it, but I'm betting they're cheaper than the OEMs.

Thanks for the great info. I thought about Ebay but only ever found the aftermarket ones.
Interesting note on the Westins. I thought they looked similar enough to be the same as the factory ones. I'll check more into those.

I'm not sure how the Westins I have would work for you, but here's a picture of them for my '00.

Thanks furgburg. I'll give them a call.
I thought about the stainless but since all of the trim is black on my truck, matching that was also a consideration.
Thanks for all of the great info guys.
