Running Boards

[nodora96]

I know most of you disagree on my decision to put on OEM running boards on my yukon but it's for the ladies in the family. I purchased a set off of craigslist but as I went to put them on I noticed there were no bolts or holes that line up for the brackets. Is there a difference in mounting equipment when it comes to boards off of a Tahoe?

Here is a pic of the boards.

they bolt on directly on the frame. if i know correctly, if your yukon never had running boards, the wholes in the frame were never made. you'll have to do that.

Don't they mount to the body? IIRC mine were attached to hangers just under the rockers...

I believe you are right my friend, because the distance from the frame and the body is too large of a gap. Unless there is something that bolts up to the frame and shortens the gap, llike a block.

^^^ body mounted. My hangers are still on my truck I think. I'll try and get a picture

 

[drowndindreams]

on my yukon it's mounted on the frame and the gap is about 3 or 4 inches.

They Mount To The Frame I Just Took Mine Off...

on a 99 4 door the factory running boards are mounted to the body.

Anybody have pictures, it sucks that I have these and can't use them

Looks like you are missing half of the bracket....

There are C shaped brackets that mount to the body, not the frame.

Those C shaped brackets bolt to the brackets hanging on your running boards.

If someone else does not come up with a picture here soon, I could get the camera out and take a picture of mine.


I'll bet that more than half of the guys here that removed their stock running boards probably still have the "C" brackets on their trucks. Maybe someone here will donate theirs to the cause................

I think that is the case... Thx for the input!

I don't like running boards either. So I'm considering the retractable ones... It's for the ladies . They seem to have a problem getting in with the 9" of lift and 35's.



But they haven't complained about the bench seats in back yet :****: .

With so many guys that dislike stock running boards, there must be 8 "C" brackets floating around out there somewhere. If nothing else, still hanging on the underside of many these Tahoes.

Let's be "green" and recycle them. Get them together and send them to nodora96.
