I took off the running boards this weekend. Has anyone painted the strip of metal hanging down?

If your talking about the "flange" where the rocker panel turns toward the ground, it should already be painted the color of the body. Its just really dirty from having the running boards on there. Maybe your talking about painting it black??
 
those of you who took your running boards off on the Passenger side do you have a weight looking thing that hangs down? I am guessing it balances the motor......guessing

98 100 btw

It is a weight, harmonic balancer type of thing. Lots of peeps on here have removed them and haven't had their trucks shake apart, so it's up in the air about true functionality.
 
I took mine off and the truck darn near flipped over on acceleration, so I had to put it back on. :D

I'll check this weekend, but I don't recall it being obvious.

I plan on going with Slee's step sliders. Anyone know if that weight balancer thing is visible with the step sliders on?
