ABSTRACT:
An improved running board construction for mounting to a vehicle includes an elongate deck and at least one bracket extending beneath and transverse to the deck, the bracket being attachable to the frame of the vehicle for mounting the running board to the vehicle. A single channel is formed integrally with the underside of the deck. The channel includes a pair of walls which are spaced transversely from each other and a pair of inwardly turned lips on the walls extending toward each other. A plate which also extends transversely of the deck is slidably received in the channel and bolts having flat sided heads extend downwardly from the slidable plate for attaching the plate to the bracket. The flat sided heads of the bolts are positioned against at least one of either the walls of the channel or against a raised bead on the plate to prevent the bolts from turning.
