Default Re: 48 Ford running board molding

The running boards are different on some models. My long door coupe ones were shagged when I got the car and they are very hard to come by in New Zealand. Fordoor ones are far more common here. I replaced mine with a nice set of 4 door ones but found there was a hole staring at me when the door was open. that was of course where the chassis mount bolt goes up into the pillar on a Fordoor that is between the front and back door. So you might have a small job finding one for a Station wagon. I solved the problem by cutting a bit of the rubber with a gasket punch from the area that is hidden behind a coupe door. I then matched it into the hole with a black silicone. you have to look hard to see it. Thinking about the boards are probably not different but rather it will be where mounting bolts go through the rubber covers there would be some variation. Remember some 48 boards were also aulminium rather than steel
