I have a solid 2wd4dr 170B original interior that needs a complete paint job and new interior. One running board has a hole in it and needs to be replaced. Is the running board part of the splash shield or separate like a 31?

Hey donh, WELCOME to the VFF!!
The running board should be separate from the splash apron.You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command! -

Is there a anti squeak between the running board brackets and the running boards?

I had a hole in my rubber on the running board. I repaired the hole with JB Weld.

Welp, since today was the day of the sweeper, had to move Wheezer off the street. Now, this is normally uneventful, Butt, today while letting the engine warm up I proceeded to squeegee off the windows and in doing so noticed another rattle to fix. The rail/edge/shiny outside edge of the running board is loose and making quite a bit of racket at an idle.
So, since it appears to be the...11-25-2020, 12:50 PM -

Did all ORIGINAL Model A Ford "Commercial" Running Boards come with narrow support bracket down the middle between the running board to frame support brackets (on the running board itself) or not?
Thanks.

I need details on the welt between the fenders and splash aprons. Did the welt continue on as the same piece from the fender to bed and then to fender to splash apron? What about between fender and running board, did they install welt there?12-10-2020, 02:36 AM -
Hi All,
Next item that needs attention on the 1930 Murray is the running boards. I cringed when I heard the "crunching" sound off rust under the rubber mat as I got into the car for the first time.

I called Bratton's and they do have the parts but I am wondering if I need the ones with or without...02-06-2021, 11:09 PM
