53 Running Boards

[Falcon(63)]

I noticed on Ebay that an indiviudal is offering three different running boards from a B4B. a 60 1/2 ", a 68 1/2" and a 39". How can these all be fro a 1/2 ton.? Reg?

[Reg Evans]

The 60.5" is from a 1/2 ton 108" wheelbase

The 68.5" is from a 3/4 ton 116" wheelbase

The 39" is probably from a stake side or flat bed.

Note. the 53 running boards are I think a 1 year only size and are a little shorter than the 44-52's to accomodate the larger 53 rear fenders. Then in 54 the surface of the boards changed to little bumps.
