Question Running boards????

Looking for some running boards exactly like these:



And can't find them anywhere in my internet searches. I know they look "Grandpa ish" but I like these on the 2wd cc duallies more than any other step/running board. Got any ideas as to brands, companies, etc???

Thanks!

Not sure where you can find them... I hate running boards personally. I'd put some small tucked in tube steps tied into the frame, but running boards make me wanna vomit

Sorry, don't mean to sound negative. I'm sure lots of people don't like how my truck is set up...
Hope you find those. I have seen that style on a lot of the duallies with the centurion packages and stuff

I think that's the problem... I think they were made by Centurion and might not be available any more.

No worries Brownie! I didn't take offense to it. I'm usually not a big fan of running boards either but I seem to like these. These are what my "new to me" pickup had on it before. It would have looked identical to the pickup pictured. One of the things I really like about these is that they are "grandpa ish". That being said, it adds to the sleeper appearance. I mean seriously... If you were to pull up next to that pickup in the parking lot, would you guess that it had a monster under the hood???? I think not!! That's whay I'm looking for some.

Thanks Chase. They were used on more than just Centurion pickups, I'm sure of it. But that's a concern is that the original company that made them might be out of business or something. I know they used to be available because my dad checked into them back in the late 90's for his CC. But he didn't buy them because they were too high priced at the time.

I haven't located anything molded. Not enough demand I guess.

I was thinking Lund, but a check of their site doesn't show that style.

IIRC Lund made something along those lines some time ago. Or so I have heard. If anybody has a pic post it up for reference.

I see them at the junk yards from time to time. I'll watch for some that aren't trashed, if you would like.

Lund was my first thought too. I know they made the factory steps that were on my 95 OBS, but for whatever reason the ones they offered aftermarket weren't a direct match, and I don't believe they are made anymore either.

Found a company today named Kitco. As a fully functional website but the closest dealer for them up here said they went out of business less than a month ago. ARRRRGGGG!!! I called the company directly to see if there's some out there but who know...
