Running boards ???

We have an 03 F350 extended cab. Want to replace my cracked OEM running boards with the tube type, is there a manufacturer that makes a bolt in type that will attach to the existing factory bolt pattern? Thanks
  • Gladly. Look at my signature pic. Laverens now 9 1/2 years old. Still new looking. Besides I/we did not like round ones. JMHO.

    I whole heartily disagree.


    Well please share your experience.

    I will say my first set on my 2002 Ram were the painted ones and rusted out in less then one half years but were replaced and would have been replaced for ten years. The set on my 2004 are stainless steal with a lifetime warranty. They look every bit as good as the day I installed them. I did have the drivers side rear foot cap come lose about three years ago. Call Westin and and I had four replacements at my house in three days! So customer service is not an issue.

  • I loved the Westin CPS on my 2003 F-150. They look great today after 10 years!

  • Google running boards and you will find lots of manufacturers that sell easy to install ones that use existing bolts.
  • www.cabelas.com has several different brands. I believe the F250/F350 extended cab models are the same. They have direct bolt on models.
