Post by: donsm4 on January 14, 2006, 07:08:19 PM
I'm looking for a supplier of steel running boards for the 33 Ply. R.S. coupe,  any ideas? I would like them within one month.  Thanks Don

maybe this guy knows a whereabouts: Hundley W Acuff, (706) 866-4875, 1423 Wilson Rd, Rossville, GA 30741

He is the one that made(s) the urethane running board covers and everything else for the cars.
Note that I have NOT been in touch with him for about 20 years.---but that address and phone number came up from just typing his last name and town in google.

Talked with his wife this past fall at Hershey.
As far as I know, he is still doing the best job in the business!

I have not dealt with Hunley Acuff but his reputation is very high. However I understand that he recovers old boards rather than manufactures new ones.

Buckeye Rubber Products advertises new boards in the Plymouth Bulletin I don't know their quality and don't have contact information handy for Buckeye.

I have purchased new running boards from N/C Industries. that were adequate for my tour car but I think a little less than you would like for a show car (minor imperfections in the molding in a couple of spots). Contact for N/C Industries is at http://www.ply33.com/Parts/Vendor#NC%20Ind.

You specify a 33 RS Coupe however all 1933 PC and PD cars show the same running board part numbers (600440 for right and 600441 for left).

Buckeye rubber does great work. They rebuilt my 41 runningboards and they look like new. They also finished them early. Great Company
