I have this NOS Ford running board but have no idea what it fits.
Does anyone know??

 

What's the Ford part number marked on the package?

If no package/no number, measure the length.

 

somebody pulled off the tag so just the remnants are there.
38" long at the truck side,32" long on the street side and about 14 1/2" wide

 

Looks like it's for a cab over. Maybe a GM product.

 

I bought it in a lot with all Ford '53-'56 NOS shorty boards.His son said he only dealt with Ford trucks

 

There's no running board listed in the 1948/56 Ford Truck Parts Catalog that's 38" long. The shortest board listed is 39.13" long for 1953/56 F700/900.

1957/86 C Series Tilt Cabs have the running boards mounted in front of the fenders and they're squarish.

The closest I can come up with: B7C-16450-A Right & B7Y-16451-A Left .. 37.50" long Running Boards-mount in front of Flareside rear fenders.

1957/66 F350 w/9' Express Flareside Bed.

But to me, this running board looks GMish, suggest you look at 1947/55 Chevy/GMC 'Advanced Design' pickups, panels and COE's.

 

thanks,i will check the gm avenue.this guy was 100% Ford so if it is a gm it must have been an oversight

 

Hey Bill,

I called GM first.

 

Possible scenario:

Guy bought a pile of NOS parts, possibly from a Ford Dealer. Many moons ago, they had ordered this board for a customer they had sold a Chevy truck to. Customer never came back and got it.

1976: I bought a huge pile of obsolete Ford parts from the dealer in Trona CA. Included was a right rear fender rubber stone deflector for a 1946/48 Chrysler/DeSoto.

This mom and pop dealer also had several pre 1886 Colt SAA's for sale ('bulls eye' ejectors). After buying the parts, I didn't have enough cash, they wouldn't take a check or CC.

The following Saturday, I drove back up there. Dealership had BURNED to the ground!

 

Not the 9' flareside......

 

The ribs look wrong to be Ford. I'm with the others and think it's probably GM. It has that shape and color.

 

I have been doing google image searches for gm trucks and cant find anything even close to this one

 

Its probably for the RARE model!

 

Begin lookin' in the mid 1930's and go from there.
