stainless steel running boards

[d.]

I'm posting for a pal...who has a pair of '31 passenger car running boards that are 100% stainless steel; trim, tread area, and bracket cages on the bottom...all stainless steel.
He bought them at Sacramento Vintage Ford in the mid 1980's.
Can anyone comment on this...ever seen such a thing?

thanks for your input, I will pass it along.

I believe it is the trim that is stainless.

Dave,
the entire running board is stainless; trim, part where the mat goes, bolt cage thing for the running board brackets...everything is 1 piece of stainless steel; the whole thing, not just the trim.

I did not know that.

may be it is from one of the stainless steel model A's that henry ford built?

It is amazing that the all stainless steel running boards cost less than most carbon steel with matted rubber and trim.
I think there is a misunderstanding somewhere.

the r-boards that Sac Vintage Ford now sells are plain steel with stainless trim, just like any other vendor offers.
The boards my friend bought in the 80's are 100% stainless steel, every inch of them, not just the trim. Top, bottom, trim, nut cages, everything.
