Running boards on U-PAY

My boards are some 55 years old and have a slight bow to them. This, in my view detracts from a nice straight looking truck, so I am in the mood to replace them. I am considering these. item# 270512565538 They are fiberglass. I do not step on my boards, so I don't think the fact that they are glass would be a problem. Anyone have fiberglass boards or used this vendor? Opinions?

Fiberglass parts have never been known for their straightness, out of the box. If you're looking for them to be a cure-all for your ills, you may be disappointed. They'll very likely need a bit of work to make look presentable.

I am looking to purchase some runniing boards as well. If anyone knows of a good deal on a pair near Alaska let me know. I would rather have the orginal steel type.
