Hey, I've been wanting a set of running boards for my truck. and I was wondering. how do they mount? because there are a couple places that look like where you would mount something like that underneath. and is completely rusted out. and I am trying to figure out if I should just give up for now before I get a set off craigs. lol

Get some off a Suburban from the junkyard and cut 'em down, they are easy to mount.
If your truck is really that rusty I guess you should be carefull who steps on them.

Burb running boards are too long unless you have a 4door truck, but they are
easy to cut down, and the mounting will be the same except for the rear where there will be no rear wheel-well bracket, but I think there will be a
support bracket underneath in that area, or you can put one there.
