I'll take some more pictures tomorrow if i have time and do a youtube video of my left side running board for the fun of it. Off of my '57 and i think they (it) may be original.

Mika, I know this thread is very old, but did you ever get the info you needed?
Dimensions of running boards? And did you ever reproduce them?
Do you have in stock..price please.
Thanks and keep up great work.
Thomas

Hi. I know these pictures aren't great, and will take better ones if it looks like these may be original running boards so as to give more detail.

They are pretty heavyweight and have strengthening ribs on the face of the board that mates with the rocker. The top side is more glossy than satin, the underside is flat because its been repainted at some point, has rust pits.

New boards would be nice, but if these are original I'll fix them up with the new mats I bought.

It is best to apply some quality adhesive when installing the rubber mats, it keeps them secure so the bottom of the doors don't make contact when moving open and close.
