Scheduled build date for my 2022 Ram Classic is 11/29/21.
It is reg. cab, 8' bed --- ordered w/o running boards, thinking aftermarket would be better deal.
Later saw the fold out steps for side access to bed, but those are $$.
The reg. cab, 6'4" has an optional Mopar wheel to wheel running board, it extends to give
side bed access.
It looks like the reg. cab has two mounting brackets for running boards that are in the same positions
for either bed length.
I did a quick photoshop and added the 6'4" w-t-w running boards onto a reg. cab, 8' bed.
These boards would extend about half way from front of bed to the rear wheel, but still looks
like it would give pretty nice extra length for access to the front part of bed.
Anybody else done this? Are there any differences in the mounting bracket positions between 6'4" and 8' bed?
Also looking for opinions about how this would look, with boards only going about 1/2 way to rear wheel.
