A good local sheet metal shop should be able to made up a pair. If not try a supplier like Rootleib in California

If you have the metal, Hunley Acuff (1423 Wilson Rd., Rossville, GA 30741, (706) 866-4875) might be able to help. He re-coats original boards and rumor in the Plymouth club is that he does a good job. Expensive, but good.<P>If you don't have the metal, Buckeye Rubber Parts (Paul Bowling, Buckeye Rubber Parts, 8308 National Rd., Brookville, OH 45309, (937) 833-2885) makes reproduction running boards for early Plymouths. They might also do early Chryslers or know someone that does.<p>[ 01-17-2002: Message edited by: ronbarn ]

On the issue of running boards, Hunley has redone two different sets of running boards for us. One set was for a '37 Plymouth pickup and the other was for a '40 PLymouth woodie wagon. After personally having him do work for us twice, he is excellent. He recoated our running boards right to factory specs. Although $600 is a lot of money, you can't buy NOS running boards for that price (if you can find them). If you are serious about the restoration of your vehicle, his work is worth every penny. If the metal is gone, I don't know what to tell you, but if your car had rubber coating on its' running boards, Henley is the man to see.

I also had my 40 Buick century running boards done by Mr Acuff, as stated in previous article pricey, BUT excellent work.<P>Jim Schilf / palbuick@aol.com
