I am seeking the trim for the running boards on my 1930 Durant 6-14 sedan. Also I would like to find the door sill trim which has an embosed Durant shield in the center of each trim piece. If someone has good restorable parts or repros, give a holler....

Keith The running board trim was originally made of zinc. The front back and inner were the same in cross section. The outer piece slid over a inner piece to avoid having any screw holes showing from the outside. Years ago I had some repros made but the fabricator is retired. He said at the time that he zinc was hard to work(and hard to find). I actually had to source it in Seattle. Those sill plate trims need to be reproduced, as I doubt that anyone has a set that not been scuffed. Ross
There was a set of NORS sold on eBay a short time ago. Supposedly it was a set for a 614. Maybe it went to another member (Anonzzz).It said they were for a 29. Went for $140 something.
