Running boards

bigdeer1 · December 13, 2013

Will the 2014 running boards for a crew cab fit a 2013 silverado ? Also.. Are the new crew cabs longer or have more room then the older model crew cabs??

I had a 2013 that was bought back and replaced with a 2014. I was gonna swap the 13 running boards to the 14 but was told by a tech that the mounting points were different. Don't know it this is true but assume it it because it ended up costing GM money as they replaced my running boards.

I don't think the new crew cabs are longer but they did move the b pillar forward 2 inches so there is a little more room in the rear seat. It looks like the front doors are smaller and the rears larger than on my 13 but don't know the actual specs.

Thanks for the response. That sounds about right. Thank you

They moved the body mounts an inch further apart according to Steve at Innovative Creations.

Interesting because the double cab has the same mounting points as the 07-13 extended cab.

My 14' CC with 6'6" box is 19" longer then a 13' CC with 5' box. It fits perfect in my 22' deep garage with room to spare. If you look under the hood, two of the cylinders are into the firewall, giving it the shorter hood length.

If you are using the GM boards...I think the double cab 07-13 boards might line right up. Not sure on the crew or regular cab.

I was looking at taking mine off and selling them.. A lot of people are asking for them but they own 2013 or a 2011 crew cab which is why I asked

The factory boards mount to the pinch welds which in my opinion is garbage. The good boards will mount to the body mounts. I'm waiting for ICI to come out with their full stainless 4" monster step bars. Is told probably January...

I was told by Steelcraft the body bolt mount for the 2014 was not an option. They originally listed body bolt mounted bars then changed to the panel mount based on information they received from GM. Something to do with the way the body mounts to the frame on the 2014's that GM says prevents using those bolts to mount steps.

This was told to me by a guy at Steelcraft, I have no other confirmation. I just know they used to sell body bolt mount steps for 2014's but no longer do.

I dunno man. I had a long conversation with the guy from ICI. He said the 3" round bars and the 5" Oval bars are available currently and they do in fact mount to the body mounts. I'm waiting for the 4" bars though. I just think they look way beefier...

Even though I have the factory OEM running boards on my 14 CC short box, I am looking into the the Amp power step. I personally like how you can't really see them until you open a door. Expensive, but I really like the hidden look!

I havent gotten used to them. I rode in his truck today. Both times I got out, caught the board with my heel and almost fell on my ass. They are nice. Its a stock 2wd and they arent needed, but he wants to save the seats and sill plate from his wife and son.

Interesting, I for one have never had an up close and personal with them. I'll keep you're near @ss busting in mind when I finally decide.
