85lebaront2 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I'm not sure what brand the running boards are, they came with the truck as did the bed liner. the only problem we ever had was rusted bolts on the brace that goes under. Only reason I know what mine are is they say it on them. They are extruded aluminum and the bolts slide into the slots. Two big flattened Z shape supports from the rocker panel lip down and three braces under the cab then a rear support and the splash guard at the front. When I redid the supports DeeZee sold me a crew cab installation kit so I was able to replace the rusted supports. I went to Fastenal and bought a load of CRES bolts, nuts and lockwashers then used plenty of antiseize on the bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our truck is a special edition truck its an 86 1/2 it was originally Baby Blue with the Z vector stripes. It was a military truck decked out. Black front and black bumpers, black mirrors, those running boards and a bed liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was done in Suffolk VA for the original owner, Del-Mar Stables so I would imagine they put them on along with replacing the front bench seat with a pair of Pyramid ones and adding a storage console between them. FWIW, both front seats leaned outboard toward the doors. I have pictures I took underneath when I was repairing the mounts with my "almost" granddaughter, she was 14 at the time and had a ball helping.

85lebaront2 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Love to see them Ok, here they are: Right side cab board Left side, both cab and bed boards Left side, underneath looking forward from under the bed Left side, looking back toward rear wheels Support tube for rear of bed side boards Right bed side board ready to be reinstalled Original rear support for left bed side board Mount for rear of left cab side board, rusty piece is from original mounts. This also gives a good view of the extrusion. End cap for boards, rear of cab and front of bed and they are left and right hand to match the respective ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a sweet truck Thank you, it's a work in progress, right now it's just being used as my Taurus ate it's FS10 compressor and has been sitting until I can at least put the bypass pulley on so it can be driven while I asses the level of contamination in the system.
