Running Boards

I need to purchase a set of aftermarket running boards for my 1950 F1. I have most of the wish books but would like to know if anyone has a supplier they would recommend. Also I plan to purchase metal unless someone can pursuade me that fiberglass is a better option.

Thanks,
Alvin

Just scanning the adds for LMK I believe it was called the price was somewhere near 900 dollars that is scary. I guess I will be repairing the ones I have, not really so bad though. Need to reproduce the area for the bolt mounts for the fenders the rest I will do the best I can with. I am all ears for the response you get I plan on replacing my 50 f1 bed with a 51 f1 bed much cheaper and I happen to like the the non stamped look. Have one 51 left fender and will need a rt 51 fender to make the transfer. Good luck ed ke6bnl I to need to know the best place for the body parts.

What I have looked at for mine is repairing the "shape" of the boards, then having them overlayed with fiberglass.

Anyone have opinions on going that route?

BTW, my Bob's catalog had fiberglass for $500USD + shipping.

Mid Fifty sells steel boards for $210-295 and fiberglass ones for $150.00. Great buys! I am getting the fiberglass ones because they don't warp after a long period of time like the steel ones and they are lighter in weight.
