I have a set of nice early long style running boards (nice bases and boarder top trim) but my cruiser was meant to have the shorties. Anyone want to swap? If you have a pair you just want to sell I would also be interested.

Do u know what year had the short and what year had the longer ones?

Mine is a 65 FJ40 (but built in early 64). I am guessing the switch was around 65/66 to the longer style. Maybe someone with the knowledge can chime in.

Most '64s have the short boards (~23" long, 10 screws in the border trim, 5 bolts to the side of the tub). Most '65 model year seem to have the longer ones (14 screws in the trim, 7 bolts to tub).

Thanks! I have a weird transition 65 FJ40 it seems.

A really early build '65 model year would probably have come with the short boards. Not surprised.
