I purchased some running boards off ebay (yes I know, ebay is a lil risky ) for a supercab, which I have. The problem is the guy sent 4 door running boards, which I don't mind, I kinda like the extra foot spot on them. They are the correct length to fit a supercab, but the rear brackets that came with the kit are for the 4 door and I am not seeing how they can fit on the supercab.

Has anyone done this? Does anyone have brackets for tubular running boards for a 98-00 ranger? Does anyone have any ideas?

Oh and I did try to work with the guy I bought them from, but I didn't do so till a month later which has made that impossible, and I called Ford to try to get some brackets and they don't make the bars anymore, and they have never sold parts individually. So I am on my own now.

Thanks for any help in advance..........

 

fab up your own? or have some fabbed? and it iirc a super cab is a "4 door"

 

the mounts are different on 4 doors VS 2 door extended cabs, you should have asked first. even 2 door ext cabs go all the way like the one's you just bought

 

and also.. XLT brackets are different than EDGE brackets..

that's why i still don't have running boards...

 

Very very VERY late reply (I know) but I stumbled upon the same issue and came up with my own solution. After searching and searching for help, hopefully I can help someone who needs an answer in the future as well. What I did was call multiple muffler shops and explain the issue. Basically: Bought some running boards and the brackets don’t math the trucks. However the brackets make contact with the trucks under body and all I need is to weld the connections together to hold. Got a few quotes ranging from $200-350 , a friend who also is a welder ended up doing it for free (still gave him some cash) and came out looking like factory installed. I’ll post up some pictures of how the welds look.

 

We're two years later. How 'bout those pictures?
