Subject: RE: running board for Vanagon Westi
I found this about another running board for sale:
*Part: running board step
*Component: Body
*Type: Vanagon
*Year: 1991
*Person: Cris <bsutton@gladstone.uoregon.edu>
*Description: Running Board (step) that fits under Vanagon's sliding
door. Came with my '91 Westfalia, looks very nice and serves its
purpose. It is attached to the body through the jack brackets; no need
to drill the chassis, etc. Looks to me like an "official" accesory.
Aluminum.
(disclaimer: I don't know the person...just thought anyone interested
in obtaining one might try contacting the person above)
