Wondering if anyone has these on their truck.
Would be nice if I could find original instruction sheet.

I bought a set of oem molded running boards for my 2001 Sport.
These are the ones offered in 2000-2001. They run the length of the cab.

Needed advice on installing. Wasnt sure if there are holes in truck or if I will need to drill them. Havent crawled under truck yet to check.

Thanks Rich

There should be mounts under the truck. At least the newer ones have them.

If they are the factory molded boards like I had you will be drilling holes, some in the pinch weld on the bottom of the rocker, and some others under the cab.

Got a photo of what you are installing?

Edit: Added photo

Yep, what you have/had.

Figured I would be drilling, just hoping not.

Thanks

I put on some aftermarket smittybilt nerf bars (short friends ******** it was too high to step in, and its stock height lol) had brackets that bolted onto the OE nerf bar locations and to bars that attach to the underside of the cab for a brace, I'll get pics later, highly recommend them tho

They are a nice running board, slippery when wet so careful there. If you need any help let me know and I can get some measurements for you if needed.

Edit: If you are lost for where a part goes just ask and I can help you out.
