1932-1934 running boards

I have heard that 1932 & 1933/34 running boards are no longer being reproduced and not likely to be again.
Any truth in this rumor?

Re: Anyone know if a NOS remanufactured distributor is a bolt on

I had a NOS 34 distributor.

Re: 32-34 Tie Rod End Adjustment

It took me 10min to make this tool out of a bit of 1 inch scrap flat bar 30 years ago.
