Sorry I forgot to reply to your question earlier to answer it what I am considering is making running boards that go from flare to flare that are completely independent from the body. They will be mounted to the frame and have a very slight gap between the body and the running boards, enough to clear any frame to body flex but they will still maintain the body style of the original running boards of a C50. One of the major differences, they will only be 2 to 3 inches tall overall rather than the stock C50 running boards which I believe are at least 12" tall.

The only other thing I can say about the running boards I will be building, they will be able to sustain I pretty good side impact, ie they won't be just sheet metal.

Please keep in mind everything I am doing on this project is the precusor to the C50 Crew Cab that is next in line.
