My 1999 F250 came with a set of aftermarket running boards that are now very
rusty. I recently picked up a set of stock ones and am in the process of
installing them. However, the old ones were attached pretty sturdily, with
bolts and angle iron (three places) to the lower skirt of rocker panels and
then steel tubes that were bolted to the frames. The stock ones only appear
to be bolted to the skirt. They are attached in a lot more points (I don't
want to go out in the snow to count, but I think they are bolted in at least 8
places), but this doesn't seem nearly as strong as the aftermarket ones were.
Before I go crawling around parking lots and looking at other trucks, does
anyone here know how stock Ford running boards are attached? Am I missing any
parts?
Thanks.
