Advice on running boards

51 F1
I will be buying some glass running boards shortly. Who has the best price on these? Who can you recommend?
Thanks

The two top names in fiberglass would be Bebops and Fairlane. The ones on my 56 were made by Gibbons, but I don't think they they are still in business.
good luck.

You might try looking at smoothie fabrications (877-218-1937) www.smoothiefabrications.com. They make steel running boards at a very reasonable price, just another option.

Thanks for the info, thats exactly what I needed. I searched and couldnt find much.
Heres the rundown for others.

Smoothies steel F1 boards are $400 thats the top end of my price range.

Bepops glass boards $275

Fairlane Glass boards $330

Now I just need to see what they each charge for shipping and make my mind up. I saw boards glass and steel ranging in the $700 range, that is just crazy price there.
