Thanks,

Here is the only link I could find for you for another site where guys were talking about these running boards but seems like the site is either down or no longer around. http://www.dtacorp.com/

Will let you know if I come across something.

Sorry!

LATER!!!

Thanks for the research/help. I've already tried those contacts. The running boards have that info on them. The phone #'s are disconnected and the website is down.

I just need someone who has these to send photos/and or directions so I don't drill the wrong holes anywhere.

I still have no idea how to mount these things. The person I purchased them from had them installed at the dealer. I don't want to drive an hour to look at the holes on his truck! : )

Does anyone know someone with these boards????

Thanks,
Derek

I had a set on my '02 2500HD CC,SB (no longer have that truck or the DTA instructions). On it, the two forward most mounting brackets bolted into OEM nuts in the cab (for factory running boards), and on the rear hanger, I had to drill a hole for a Nutsert (kinda like a Rivnut) to bolt it to.

OK. I'm still looking for some information on these running boards but I have another question.

Is the lower rocker panel seam the same on all 2001+ trucks. These running boards came off a 2001 and they mount to the lower rocker panel. On my 2005 it doesn't seem to fit flush to mount any bolts.

Any help would be appreciated.

I had the DTA boards mounted on my 2001 3500 4x4 and they mounted to the pinch weld underneath the rocker panel. However, after they were installed (by a professional) we noticed that the boards did not protrude out enough to be of any use. After doing some research and talking with the compnay we came to the conclusion that these boards are the same design for the "old" body style and I had them removed and returned. Also, to answer your question about bolts when they were installed the boards lined up with existing bolts. I doubt that anything that major has changed from 01 to 05.
