Default SCREW running boards fit on a SCAB?

Before I go rolling around under the trucks at the dealer with my measuring tape does anyone know if the factory running boards from a screw will bolt up to a scab?

I know they'll extend further than the rear doors but I don't mind the wheel to wheel look if they will indeed fit.

My understanding is that they will not fit. I believe between the two, the forward and aft mounts are in different locations.

Leave the mounts and just remove the boards from the mount and re-drill holes

That would work if the botton of the boards don't have indented mounting points or unfinished areas under them. Guess I will be checking under a few on the lot to see.

I don't know about the factory ones, but with the AMP boards, you get the ones that are the correct length for a Screw and cut the boards shorter to fit the length for a Scab. On them the mounting arms can be placed anywhere along the board.

I'm looking at factory boards. Specifically the ones that are all black plastic that come on the sport models.

This this is what I ended up with on my new 2017 scab, pretty happy with them.
