I had a pair of smoothie (smooth) running boards for 53, 54, 55 and 56 Ford F100 trucks in today from a new supplier. Smoothie or smooth running boards are just what the name implies. Smoothie running boards don’t have any of the ribs that run the length of the stock 53-56 F100 running boards. Sure the ribs add strength to the stock F100 running board. However, if you want a smooth, custom look, you have to buy the smoothie style running boards for your Ford F100. At around $440 a pair (at present time), they’re a great deal.
Construction of the Smoothe running boards was clean and made of heavy gauge steel. Smoothie running boards are hand formed in the U.S.A. and really show quality workmanship. You can get them at F100Central.com
