I remember there was a discussion on this forum (I believe) about what was the best adhesive for securing the rubber mat to the wooden running boards of early Chevys. Can anyone share what is the best adhesive?

Although a bit expensive, I have had the best luck with the adhesive offered by the vendor that sold the mats.

On my Dads 21 490 there was no adhesive used on the wooden running boards. The mat was held on by the metal edging strips. On the 28s that used metal running boards they were originally held down with rubber nubs that went through the holes in the metal when the rubber was moulded directly to the metal. The replacement mats on metal running board replacements do have to be glued down. If you are using the battleship linoleum like was originally used on wooden running boards, unless you have holes or gaps in the boards you shouldn't need adhesive. The metal strips will works just fine.
