RUNNING BOARDS
The undersides each feature
the original style cross-braces
with all mounting holes in the
original locations. Thicknesses
of the steel and rubber match
the original Ford units. All of
our boards have vulcanizing
holes as original.Extreme pressure is applied to
shape the heavy running board sheet
metal in this large hydraulic press.
Seen here are the huge dies used to make our
1933-34 running board “inserts”, meaning the inner
steel which is then carefully trimmed and placed into
the rubber mold where high-grade rubber is then
vulcanized over the top and sides of the insert.
