I had a '48 Chevy with rubber on the running board such as the running board was. Seems like I remember seeing some cars out of the thirties had them as well, though most of that vintage was off the road when I walked the earth, thanks in large part to a local man named Bill Harrah........

I am under the impression that they were originally a semi gloss black regardless of the color. Anyway I took it to the local body shop and he questioned if the original was a black ribbed rubber. I have not seen that in any of the restoration catalogs but I thought I would throw the question out to the group. I am getting ready to mount the spare tire rim on the side of the truck. Any thoughts on putting it on the left or right?
