running board mod
« on: January 07, 2011, 01:03:08 AM »
Diane, my wife wanted running boards on her project Avalanche. We didnt want to blow $500+ on new ones and I couldn't find any stock ones , used in the state or parts....

long story, short, I found 4 unidentified boards in a pile on the ground behind a junk store. offered up $30. the brackets were all wrong so I found 2 sets of avalanche brackets on Ebay for $80

drilled out the welds on the old brackets, trimmed the boards to fit better, marked and bolted on the new brackets in place, Making Momma a happy girl.

Shipping on something like that would have been outrageous to Alaska. I'm sure that's his biggest headache trying to find parts.


Nice work (as usual)  :thumbup: They look like the stock boards of a WBH.
