I made a parts run this week and the guy had some running boards that I got thrown in with the other parts I bought from him. These are pretty much throw-aways around here but recalling this thread I picked them up and will offer them to anyone who wants to pay the shipping. Two of them were on a wrecked truck and one is fairly straight. No rust, other than surface rust, on any of them. Here's a pic of the group, I have more pics if anyone is interested in seeing them shot me an email or PM...

too bad...about 80 bucks...anatennae hole in fender top to be filled & some

mounting hole cleanup but all-in-all pretty stight...email me if interested &

I'll put you in touch...THANKS in advance...

I think they look pretty good. I have worked on and brought back a lot worse. I wish I could find a deal like that. I looked at your truck pics and I noticed you have a tail gate fron the older trucks with the FORD in script. I also would like to do that with mine.

I think that style tail gate is from a '52 or earlier. I expect there are some experts on here that could verify the origin of that style. I can buy a repop of that style panel for the tail gate but they are expensive. I might do that and fab up the rest of it.
