I want to replace the pieces of metal on the bottom inside of my doors ... sort of the other side of the rocker panels. They "appear" to be attached by a few screws, so I'm "assuming" these will be easy for me to replace. True? Anything I should watch for once I find out what they are and order them?

 

Pics would be nice but I assume your talking about the running boards? If you have a catalog handy look them up and see if its them.

 

They are the ones that also trim off the carpet right?

They are called scuff plates NPD has them for about 10 each or 40 each for original

they also have some with a running horse engraved in them for like 124 [:@]

Oh yeah each one comes off in like 5 min

Edit: I found a photo of what I want and it's not attached to the inner door and appears to be scuff plates .. thanks .. will go searching some more.

 

Running boards or scuff plates...same difference

They also have some with blue lights I think.

 

Actually no. Running boards were attached to the outside of the old cars. That's where the roller skating girls at hamburger places used to hop up on to take your order. That's why they were called car hops. They also made it easier to enter the car. What she is referring to are called scuff plates.

 

I swear one catalog I looked through called them that...

 

That may be, but they are not running boards. Running boards are actual boards of wood that were attached on the outside with a rubber liner on top. However, today a lot of pickup trucks refer to the chrome or aluminum step on the outside of the door as running boards. Here is an example.

 

I always called them sill plates.

 

Aftermarket guys sometimes refer to them as sill plates, but most often a sill plate relates to building construction on a house.
