Default Re: running boards on pickup

I have seen 2 different repro boards, not counting the Rootlieb. The first one was straight across on the front and back ends where they are bolted to the fenders. this is not correct and they were fairly light gauge metal. The second set were made correctly with a little rectangle bump out around the holes on the front and back ends. I have always assumed that this was to let water and dirt drain down from the top surface. This second set was made with heavier gauge metal then the first but I don't know if it matched the originals. I do not know who made either set.
