Due to an unfortunate event earlier today, I lost the driver side power running board on my Ram, both brackets snapped off. The board itself is intact and I would need the mounting brackets + pins only (set of 2). Is there a way to purchase just the brackets and the pins or do I need to purchase a full running board kit?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Thanks @billhansen! I ended up changing the whole left side assembly. I needed both hinges and that came to about $500, the one with the motor is roughly around $320 discounted. The whole board assembly was $636 including tax in michigan. The install was super easy, took my mechanic about 5 minutes.
Look at it on the bright side. Now you have a spare motor. ;)

No I dont, one of the brackets comes with the motor as one piece and in my case both were broken and useless, unless I welded them back together. Even then I would still be missing the pins that hold the bracket together.... I do have an extra board however, and that I will sell on craigslist locally.

Ahh. Bummer.

I have this exact same issue with my 2021 (and I really like the way it was worded - so I adopt that explanation as well)
I was wondering if anything has changed in the last 30+ months.
I don't need the entire "hinge" piece - I simply need the brackets that attach the hinges to the board itself... If anyone has learned anything new I would appreciate the insight.
Otherwise, if I'm destined toe the same fate as Turaco - if anyone has suggestions on the most cost effective way to acquire the board assembly - I'd appreciate that info as well
Thanks!
 
Unfortunately, the other day I went to the car wash, and normally they drive it in. The worker left my boards down, and it ripped the left side right off so I was pissed. I've got the parts coming, including the forward hinge, which contains the motor, and the aft left hinge. Has anyone DIY these yet? How was it to change out?
