Anyone tempted to bid on the "NOS" '32 running boards listed today on eBay may wish to look very closely at the photos provided. There's no rubber on either end and the bottom edge of the rubber does not wrap around the edge of the steel foundation. Also the pattern of the pyramids at the ends is messy. Lastly, there's no evidence of the little holes in the bottom of the steel bases with their little blisters of rubber formed during vulcanization.

Draw your own conclusions, but in my opinion they look like Rosemead covers from yesteryear on old reproduction steel bases.
