Question Running boards

Does anyone have info as to where the best price is for running boards? I'm looking for a set for my 52 F1 in either glass or metal. Everything I've seen has been higher than poison! They seem to be almost as much as a new bed! Any help is appreciated. Rob

I don't think you've priced a bed lately!! But yes, they're not cheap, the shipping is a good part of it.

Search on "running boards", there's a bunch of threads about these. Email me, I'm in the same process on my 52 and have a few thoughts.

You can get glass boards for around $250 a pair and that's about the cheapest I've seen. You might keep a lookout on Ebay. Sometimes a used set shows up there but even used ones are expensive...

I pair $650.00 for the new metal running boards, and $1,800.00 for the new bed. I searched for a better prices but sometimes you get a cheaper product for the cheaper price. I just decided to bite the bullet and go with a company that had a good reputation.

Thanks. I'll see what comes up. I did find a complete bed at Northern Truck Parts for around $1100.00 plus shipping.
