Got my four pieces of running boards welded together today to give me two running boards!
Shimmed it in a few places, had to get longer carriage bolts, sucks cuz the heads are smaller. So I have four store bought longer carriage bolts and two of the ones VPW has. Thinking bout asking em who makes em and seeing if they can make longer ones with the wider heads so they all match. But the point is is the boards on the drivers side are ALMOST perfect. Not quite, but I don't want it perfect. Like the body work on the bed, you can really see in the latest pics Ive posted in my link below.
Painted the drivers side with Duplicolor spray on bed liner. Same as under the fenders. It has a slightly rough texture for somewhat of a non slip, and very easy touch up. Need to get the passenger side board blasted, then Il tackle getting that one on and leveled up.
I found myself out in the yard staring at this view for about an hour or so.
