Not allot of people buy used running boards especially when most trucks have them.. SInce you have a cap on the top of yours you only have to spray the outer edge where your foot does not really go.. Take them to someone that does bed liner and have them spray it, it holds up in the box of a truck perfectly fine it will hold up on that running board.. You could probably get it done for $100 especially if you mask off all the areas you do not want sprayed first.

Maybe some Raptor boards? Can't tell if you have a SCab or a Screw. Scab boards are hard to find, and therefore bring a bit higher price usually. I've got them on my Scab, second truck of mine they've been on, and are OEM, so the quality is there. After 8 years of use, I see no wear anywhere. Plus, they stick out just far enough that the truck is protected by idiots that insist on banging their car door into yours. Trust me, they will leave a mark on the offenders POS.
If yours is a Screw, you could use Tremor boards as well. I'd like those myself, since instead of Raptor embossed on them, they have the Ford logo. Wish they made a Tremor as a Scab, but they don't.

I had luck calling around to local dealers asking if they had any takeoffs. Apparently, some new truck buyers don't want the "base" running boards, usually ordered by the dealers, and ask them to upgrade to a fancier style. Guess the dealers can't legally sell them as new and I got a really great discount on an essentially new set.

From what I have found when I mounted my running boards last week is there are 3 sets of studs on each rocker panel area for the running board brackets. I think that some of the brands use two sets, one in front and one in the rear for their boards and OEM uses three brackets on each side. The aftermarket boards that I bought had 3 sets of brackets and mounting points on the boards.
Good luck on your search.
