running boards for 1950-F2
I am working on a 1590 F2 to restore ( it is all there) 239 flat head, and the running boards are rusted thru where the brace is welded underneath. The rest is Ok and is still bolted to the fenders.
I understand that the Long Bed running boards are non existing?? What can I do to "fix" what I have?? Do not have pics yet but will try to post later. Ideas welcome. I'm in west central IL. |
Hey welcome to the forum! I live in Pekin,IL close to Peoria.
I am working on a '49 F3, our running boards sound the same as a lot of them are rusted there. I got a couple pieces of other running boards and am planning to carefully cut out the rusted area and stitch weld good used pieces back in. I haven't done it yet though. I think it's gonna be a little tedious, but no hill for a climber. What town do you live near? Nice to have another,somewhat, local guy! |
Welcome to FTE,
yes you will have to either fix what you have, build your own, or buy some good used ones. btw check the classifieds section here for 48-60 trucks, I know someone who has a really nice set listed in there. not perfect but no rust out. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...uck-parts.html Actually looks like there may be a couple sets listed in there! Cheers' Josh |
Just a thought, and may sound stupid, but could you cut out patches from a shortbeds running boards to replace the rusted out spots in yours?

I have a set of solid F2-F3 running boards. I sent you an email earlier.

Thanks and look tonight. |
Jeff and Nicolle.
I am off high way 24 in a small town called Fowler just East of Quincy about 8 miles. Glad I am not the only one with rusted out running boards. I may do the weld in patch. |
