A running board design is provided for automotive vehicles. Two metal end caps and two metal square tubes are connected together, creating a frame with seamless peripheral surface for the running board. A metal stepping plate is on the top of the frame to provide stepping area. A plurality of metal clamping sliders move in two grooves on the bottom of the stepping plate, which clamp and fix the stepping plate onto the frame. At the same time the clamping sliders provide a platform where mounting brackets can be installed. The clamping sliders allow the running board to be adjusted to a position which provides the best cab access. Extra clamping sliders can be added with ease for extra-long vehicles. The running board is fully made of metal, leading to increased strength and durability, as well as improved appearance.
