The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Do you want to buy 31 Rootlieb Running Boards

OK, these are the Rootlieb 31 Boards and the rubber is vulcanized onto the board with small dimples coming thru many holes in the bottom. They were the best repro ever made for the 1931 Model A. Are they expensive? Yes! Brent is probably right at about $400 to $500 per set. I suppose we can contact rootlieb and order with or without the molding??? But we need to ask that question.
This is in the planning stage right now! If you put your name on the list you will be notified of the price and delivery before you send in your money.
As of this AM I have recieved requests for 16 sets from Ford Barners.
I also need at least 5 sets more for friends in Chicago and myself.
So the number is already over 20 sets and it will go higher as the word gets out.
Please spread the word!
And thanks to those that listed.
Remember these are not cheap boards but they are the best quality ever made since Ford made them in the factory,
Remember I am not selling these boards I just need two sets for my cars and I am just putting the list together for all of us.
The Ford Barn is great because it gives us the opportunity to do this kind of name gathering quickly and inexpensively,
I have not yet contacted all the dealers so I am sure we will get more numbers from them.
I will also put this request in the National magazines,
Thanks,
Ken
