Thanks. Any close up pics?
I'm guessing a bug mat would work fine to recover them? What size screws did you use? _________________ Your Vanagon sucks, Stop waving at me.

As far as I can tell they are original but have no mounting hardware and the mats are grey! _________________ Your Vanagon sucks, Stop waving at me.

That is incredible paint work! Looks like a real solid running board, too. Nice! _________________ Each day is precious. |

Thanks. The running boards are incredibly solid. The flat potion continues under the lower body and is solid welded then the angled part is solid welded to the body and the running board. The ends are welded to the fenders, and the fenders are welded to the body. _________________ Licensed Automotive Service Technician
