Abstract

A mounting structure for running boards including a swivel bearing or universal joint disposed between the running board and the frame of the vehicle. The mounting structure is adapted to allow the running board, which is rigidly mounted to the cab, to move with the cab and independent of the frame thereby minimizing the stress on the mounting structure.
