Re

I thought the running boards were made of Aluminium?

Emery cloth, or remove the side steps from the truck, seperate the steps from the bracketry (cross head screws) and wire brush attatchment in an electric drill followed by a spray of hammerite paint.

Re

Where are the running boards then?

Is this not a "yank" term for side steps?

Running boards are wooden aren't they?

side-steps

Beware! I took my side-steps off to re-paint them. I snapped a chassis- mount bolt and had to grind all the fasteners that attach the step to the frame. It took me 4 months before they went back on! Alot of sanding, 1 coat of Kurust, 4 coats of Hammerite for the frames, 1 coat of special primer and 4 coats of Aluminium paint later! Well, they look superb, and I know they will last now. If you are not into that work then I`m sure you can pick up a decent pair from a breaker or ebay for about £100.
Cheers,
Chris

Take them off and leave them off. Your Surf will look better without!
