NOTE: Remove the protective plastic coating from the running boards and mud flaps. Trim the black vinyl tape on each end of
the running boards, so that the tape edge is flush with the end of running board. The steps and figures shown are for
the passenger side installation.
Step 1: Form the flap to conform to the wheel well opening. (SEE FIGURE 1). Bolt the mud flap extension (#9988) in between
the stainless steel flap and the rear of the running board, bolt together using 1/4" x 1-1/4" SS slot head screws and
flange nuts. (SEE FIGURE 1). Next apply the mini-trim (#7820) 18" ONLY along the outside edge of the flaps.
(optional). (SEE FIGURE 3).
Step 2: Attach the end cap (#7811) to the front of the running board using 1/4" x 1-1/4" SS slot head screws and flange nuts.
(SEE FIGURE 3).
Step 3: Attach the 14-3/4" angle bracket (#553) to the weld-in at 5" from the front of the running board, using 1/4" x 3/4" hex
head bolts and flange nuts. Figure tighten only. (SEE FIGURE 3). Next bolt two 18" flat braces (#10511) to the other
end of the 14-3/4" angle bracket. (SEE FIGURE 3).
Step 4: Now take the bent brace (#568) and attach it to the back lip of the box board using 1/4" x 1-1/4" SS slot head bolts and
flange nuts. Next clamp the bent brace to the rocker panel and the flap to the wheel well opening. Clamp the 18" flat
straps to the under body cross braces. (SEE FIGURE 3). Make sure the front of the box board matches up with the
rear of the cab board, both in and out, and up and down positions.
Step 5: Once you have the front of the box in line with the cab, check and make sure the rear of the board is level with the cab.
(NOTE: The best way to check this is to look down the front of the cab board by the flap, towards the rear of the box
board). Make adjustments in and out or up and down until you have a perfect alignment.
Step 6: Once you have the box board aligned, drill two 1/4" holes through the rocker panel using the slots in the bent brace as a
guide and attach the brace to the rocker panel using 1/4" x 1-1/4" SS slot head bolts and flange nuts. (SEE FIGURE 2).
Step 7: Recheck board for alignment. Then attach the 18" braces to the under body cross braces using 1/4" x 3/4" self drill and
tap screws. Then attach a 6" flat brace (#510) to the end of the angle bracket using 1/4" x 3/4" hex head bolts and
flange nuts, attach a 1-1/2" angle bracket (#547) to the other end of the flat brace using a hex head bolt and flange nut.
Using the 1-1/4" angle bracket as a guide drill a 1/4" hole into the frame, then attach the angle bracket to the frame
using a hex head bolt and flange nut. (SEE FIGURE 3).
Step 8: Attach the flap to the wheel well opening using three 1/4" x 1" self drill and tap screws. Make sure all nuts and bolts are
tight.
Note: PUTCO recommends applying a high quality automotive wax to maintain the original appearance on your new
running boards.
