I have some running boards on my truck. However due to me being a dumbass and catching one on a stump I was to lazy to flush cut I ruined the board and bent up the body panel they attach to on the underside of the door. Are there any out there that attach to the frame?

I emailed them. They said they made frame mounts for my model but I would have to go to a dealer to order. Dealer called and they can't find a part number for them. It would be more money to fix the sheet metal issues than to get new boards so...
Ordered some Deezee stainless 4" nerf bars. Will be here Thursday. Sometimes being lazy and no flush cutting a stump costs you money.

Just FYI - in my vehicle search I ran across the Ford King Ranch that had power retractable running boards. This is by far the best set up I have seen. The boards are up under the door & are barely visible. When the door is opened, they extend down & out to just the right height to get in or out without slipping off the board. I hate the Longhorn boards.
