Running Board Question

Does anybody know if a 2005 EX has black running boards, can they be swapped out for the chrome OEM tube bumpers? I just love the way it looks with the chrome.

To boards wouldn't be an issue, but because of the wheel base I'd suspect the truck tubes of being a little short.

If you look at an EX or a Super Duty, the step tubes are lower than the running boards. I have seen an EX with aftermarket chrome tubes on it and I don't like the look. Does anybody know if you can retrofit the new ones on a truck.

I don't know about the 08/9 stuff, but the 2005 is the same as the 99-04. I'm pretty sure the westin part numbers crossed between a Superduty model and the Excursion.

I have the chrome tubes on my 05 so they should not be a problem. I'm pretty sure that they only came on the 4x4 for 05. I would call around to some junk yards.

The OEM part number for the chrome bar kit is YC3Z-16450-EA

For black, the number is F81Z-16450-CA


These are still available. Just google the part numbers. Expensive, though.
