Running boards

Post by barch97 »

Any have (or seen) either Westin or Lund lighted running boards on a crewcab?

Considering a pair. About $375 for either brand. As far as I can tell both are extruded aluminum step with plastic cover. Curious to find out if they bolt on to unmodified chasis or am I gonna need to drill really big holes in my truck?

Hmmm...I'm thinking they may bolt to the rocker body seam. With a couple braces that bolt to the sides of the body mounts. So that would mean drilling about five 1/4"- 3/8" holes.

That's my guess.

Have you checked the manufacturers web site for installation instructions?
