Standard cab products non-existent anymore?!?!

weis7594 · Oct 26, 2017

Why doesn't anyone make quality, strong, long-lasting running boards for standard cab trucks anymore. I know that we standard cab guys are like dinosaurs, but c'mon man. I found these from Hammerhead that fit the 4500/5500 series Rams but, during discussions with them, their engineers would have to design a new product line specifically for my 2500 standard cab. They are willing to do so but it would have to wait until they come back from SEMA. These products seem to be of high quality and I love the body mount vs other mounting options. Are there any other products out there like these? I live in Alaska, so I need high-strength and durability.

Does anyone have ideas on this? I have tried searching the forum for the info but only find products for CC trucks. Thanks.

Standard cabs are a dying breed. In order to make it worth designing and building a product the companies need to be able to sell a minimum amount of them. I wonder what percentage of new trucks are standard cabs.

Yea, it sucks. It's just me and the wife, so no need for 4 doors. I was brought up on 2 door trucks and the theory of "if ya need 4 doors, get a car" kinda thing. I can appreciate the need for 4 doors and y'all have some bad ass lookin rides though.

I wouldn’t necessarily say 2 doors are a dying breed, I mean, there still are a ton of work trucks that are 2 door with the 8’ bed. But yeah, for the aftermarket world, these aren’t the truck buyers that typically mod their trucks, so there is very little incentive to create model specific products.
