I thought I'd offer that "Smoothie Fabrication" in North Carolina makes a nice steel running board for these pickups (ads in the back of rodding magazines). I don't remember the exact cost but it seemed like a bargain to me at the time I got mine His boards even have a matching bead stamped or rolled into them that matches the original. They are not meant to be a factory exact duplication but no one would know after you covered them with rubber matting. I'm not into the painted running board syle myself but that's an option for these as well.
