Running boards ???

[ilvtravln]

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

you do realize it is much easier to get it down the boat ramp that way???????

Um err, well I thought I had it figured out?????????

Hey Norskeman, you are trying to hook up the wrong end of your truck to that 5er!

These are not the easy bolt up to some factory pattern that you asked for but are the best IMO.
I did a lot of research before putting some on my truck when I bought it. I will gladly buy really expensive stuff if it has the reputation of reliability and longevity. I don't like to buy things more than once.

I've enjoyed my Luverne's for 5 years.......

These Dee Zee Elite's look pretty good, stainless also:Dee Zee Elite clicky

I've had Luverne and Westin both were great. Stainless obviously holds up better than powder coated.

Used to have an f150 with the factory chrome nerf bars. Started showing signs of wear after 10 years. Bought a new set of flat running boards.....and I'll be dog-gonned if they didn't come with a new f250 attached!!

John you do know Westin sells round, oval, flat and other styles also right? I went to Luverne's web site http://www.luvernetruck.com/ they have some very nice looking products also.

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!
