Guest delson Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 The rubber covering on the running boards of my '39 LZ sedan are beginning to break apart. Where can I find new material for the running boards? I have some new material but it is brown and the ribs are wider than the original.Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyDale Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Dear O.C.,Heres the story as i know it.Hunley Acuff 1423 Wilson Rd. Rossville,Georgia 30741.Clean off the old rubber and blast em yourself and save some money.Call him for a quote,my 39 Zephyr coupe boards were 520.00 that was in 2003 dollars.If you need any more info let me know.It has been said on this forum before.....Mr.Acuff is the ONLY guy on the planet that vulcanizes rubber in the original pattern to your board and YES they are PERFECT.diz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peecher Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 You guys might try Ron Bloom in Bellevue ,Washington. He advertises in the TWOTZ and offers these covers for $300 a pair. Tel. 425-643-7325 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyDale Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Dear Peecher,I have bought some stainless from Ron and i have NEVER seen him advertise covers for Zephyr runningboards.Maybe i missed something.diz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peecher Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Diz, you're absolutely right the ad does say "trim" not rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
