Has anyone ever used pickup running boards from Howells ? I would like to have some from Rootlieb but they have not made them in a while . I have a chance to buy some older new ones but they do not know who made them .

Are they the ones with the raised steel tread? Post a picture. The reason for the short supply is the dies broke and they are too costly to repair for the ROI.

Yes Brent , they have the raised steel tread like the trucks have , with the Ford stamping . I do not have a picture of them . You know of a way to tell if they are
Rootlieb ?

We have the Rootleib 1928-1929 pickup runningboards in stock. They are MUCH better then the Howells ones.
