WTB Running Board Bracket for AD 3100

I need one running board bracket in good condition. I was going to buy a repop but I only see them sold in 3's and I only need one. So if you have a straight rot-free one, or an extra repop lying around, or if you need 2 and want to share an order with me, hit me up.

Well you most certainly don't want an repro if you can get an original. I do have a set I believe they have different lengths as I remember. Which exact one do you need?

Driver's side front, probably the most common one to break.

I learn something new every day on this forum - to me, visually, they all looked the same...thanks for the tip.

I can probably weld mine up if i can't find a new one - the PO did a botchy torch job on it once - it cracked at the rivets (probably also common).

Re: WTB Running Board Bracket for AD 3100

The one I have is bent, I don't think it would be any better than you welding up yours. I have to tell you, they are ALL different, left to right and front center and rear, so you must have a front left one, or bending a right one may work. But honestly, this is a great little practice repair project if you aren't real handy with that sort of thing. Remove it by removing the rivets, grinding the back sides and hitting them out with a drift punch. Then get all the pieces and grind down the welds that someone did, and just re-weld it back together, grind it up and you are ready to bolt it back on.
