Trying to Purchase a Set of Running Boards
Took delivery of Redline Red #1375 last Fri. It did NOT have Factory Option BVE which are the running boards. I live in rural Tn. and live on a "chipped & sealed road" which turns into a 400 ft. gravel drive-way. I can hear the rocks coming off the wide front tires and hitting the rear fender area. ROCK CHIPS already. I've tried to order the running boards(GM part # 12499191) from 3 local dealers and 2 large internet GM parts companies. All of them get the same answer----"Order Constraint". You can't buy them because the suppier/manafacturer is sending all of their production to the SSR assembly line. Does anyone know of a dealer who has a set for sale, an individual who didn't want theirs and didn't install them, or a set that was replaced under warranty(supposedly some were recalled and replaced due to machining marks), or whatever. I NEED a set, not for appearance or aesthetics, but to keep these dam* rock chips to a minimum. I'd appreciate any help anyone can provide me in acquiring a set of running boards. Thanks.
