Hi,
I have a 1940 one ton and my running boards have the slot for the bolt underneath which makes them hidden. I could be wrong, but I think this is true for 1940 and earlier. Starting in 1941 is when I think the mounting system changed.

If I had to make up a set, what seems to me to be the hardest to duplicate would be the bead runs along the length of the board, I would make a cardboard mock up copy and take it to a metal shop for a prototype. The other bends are relatively simple to make. if you had a rusty pair, you might try a fiberglass overlay.

best of luck,

My driver side is perfect but the pass side is all bent out of shape and dented in many places but there is no rust someone had put bondo in many spots! I could repair it but it would take a lot of time it would just be easier to find one that was still straight and still has all its metal intact!

 

I have been searching for about 2 years now (off and on) and it is proving to be all but impossible. I found one set, but it would have required alot of work. I found a place that sells decent metal working stuff (bead rollers, brakes) for a decent price. I might just buy the equipment and try and make my own. Either that or I will take the existing ones to a metal shop and have set custome made.

 

I wish thats all that was wrong with mine, then I would just fix them, but unfortunatly, they are very rusty as well.

 

Well if I can't find a replacement I will have to repair it! I thought about having a local metal fabricating place copy the original and make me a set out of diamond plate to either replace them or cover them but have no idea how much that would cost! I have seen a 46 with homemade wood running boards that looked nice but I would like metal if possible!

 

I have a pair of long boards and also a pair of shorties from a 47 ford 1 ton I'll sell. Solid metal, both pairs, some gentle bends but easily straightened. I can send pics.

I have a set of 47/48 boards for sale. get back to me at choptop49@aol.com

 

I should have a pair of shorts off my 1/2 ton kicking around somewhere that I don't need if they will help anyone. You can email me if anyone needs them. CapeCanal@comcast.net

 

How much are you looking to get for the long boards and where are you located?

 

I have all these trucks, and there are lots of parts that are still useable, I looked at using the one set of long board myself, but found a better pair. I need to get rid of a lot of this stuff, so somebody make me an offer on the boards, or on any of it.

 

Where are you located?

 

I'm in southwest kansas
