Description
The Adjustable Steel Running Board Brackets for 1953–1956 Ford Trucks provide a much-needed solution for the common alignment headaches associated with "Effie" restorations. While factory brackets offer almost zero flexibility, this heavy-duty steel set is engineered to help you achieve perfect gaps and a level stance for your running boards.
Precision Tuning & Adjustability
The standout feature of these brackets is the vertically slotted "foot" on the front mounting point. This design allows for granular control over the installation:
Height Adjustment: Easily raise or lower the running board to sit perfectly flush with your front and rear fenders.
Angle Correction: Fine-tune the "pitch" of the board to ensure it sits perfectly level, compensating for slight frame variations or aftermarket body mounts.
Custom Fitment: Ideal for trucks with fiberglass body panels or non-stock frames where original mounting holes may not align perfectly.
Heavy-Duty Construction
Durable Steel Fabrication: Built to handle the weight of daily use, these brackets provide a rigid, bounce-free platform for your running boards.
Complete Chassis Set: This kit includes four (4) brackets, providing everything you need to support both the driver and passenger side running boards.
Finish-Ready: The steel construction is ready for your choice of paint or powder coating to match your truck's chassis or underbody.
Installation Benefits
Because these brackets utilize slotted mounting points, they significantly reduce the "trial and error" time usually spent shimming factory brackets. Whether you are running original steel boards or modern reproductions, these brackets ensure the transition from the running board to the fender is seamless and professional.
It took some time to receive my order, but I knew that in advance. Well worth the wait.
