Please help me find 1940 Chevrolet Running Boards for my Sedan Delivery, I believe they are the same for car as well.

Do you want original style or the smooth one?

When the rubber cover goes on over top of those boards, I can't see where there is any difference in appearnce from the original style.

The original boards have grooves that fit the molded rubber covers( ones sold at Rock Auto Parts)....the smooth boards will require cutting off the molded rubber or you could get some type of flat backed rubber to cover....I replaced mine not knowing about the groove and flat issue( I had the flat boards) and had to make a tool to skim cut the rubber channels off. Tough job ...but came out nice. Sorry , no ideas where to buy boards , but thought you should consider this issue before buying. David

i am looking for good used originals running boards, or even better NOS ones!

i see them on e-bay every now and then.
also check with "ida's antique chevy parts" on the web. nice lady!

If you want the best reproductions ever made look up hunley acuff runningboards. I have seen his work and it is peerless, his work has a lifetime guarantee, and you can not tell his from nos. he is not cheap but if you want the best you will have to pay the price. he recovers your orginal boards so there is no problem with them fitting correctely. his site has all the information includung a picture gallery of some of his work. dennis
