Default Supercab running boards

Does anyone know if the mounting points are the same distance for a set of running boards on a supercab and supercrew? I'm wanting to buy a set of Raptor supercrew boards and I'm hoping I can just cut them a little shorter on each end and then get them line-xd to fit in my supercab.

Would someone with an 09 to 14 supercrew be willing to measure the center to center distance of the 2 brackets for the running boards? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the crew has 3 brackets. A friend has a crew and I'm going to be in his area today. I'll see if I can track him down when I get there.

I've got a 2010 Supercrew. 2 brackets. You are looking at around 53 inches.

The guy messaged me back. The raptor supercrew brackets are 54 inches on center. My supercab brackets are 45 inches on center. Wondering if I can still make them work?

Doesn't sound like it unless you make some sort of bracket that attaches to the brace and makes an attachment point where the holes on the running boards are.

Or if they attach like mine do, drill new holes in the running boards. Not sure how the end that is hanging out further with no support would hold up though if someone where to step on it there.

^^^ Based on the above response, S-Crew won't fit S-Cab as I suspected due to shorter overall length cab.

I just now measured my S-Cab Raptor boards as prox 45" center-to-center between mounting bolt patterns as shown below. As you'll see, center mounting points aren't utilized...

BTW, used Raptor boards still pop up occasionally on local CL private party ads. An ad for a pair of S-Cab was listed a few days ago in Phoenix for $500 (no pictures). Depending on where you are, perhaps place a "WTB" ad in your local CL region...

I think the raptor supercab ones are a little harder to find. I've been checking local craigslist. That's where I found the supercrew ones. The raptor boards use dedicated holes that are machined into the bottom of the board so the mounting points can't really be changed. I'll probably just do what I was originally gonna do and line x the stock ones. I just don't like the chrome and I like the raptor ones better but I'm not gonna spend a ton of money on them. Thanks.

^^^ True, harder to find. Much like standard F150 trucks, Raptor S-Crew outsold S-Cab versions with the former having larger rear seating plus same 5.5' bed box as a "normal" F150 S-Crew.

I'm one of those oddballs that actually prefer S-Cab in combo with 6.5' box (not available on Raptor in any case)...

Why not go new? By the time you buy, modify, paint and add your time you could buy new ones. Quite a few companies offer raptor like boards for scab. Below are just a few.
