Will running boards off a 2004 St fit on the brackets shown on my 2002ST?

The 2001-05 OEM boards appear to mount the same.

Hopefully, pictures in the link below may help. Good luck.

Brackets and bars are different on '04 and '05

My understanding is the mounting holes are the same.

Ford changed the brackets in 2003, they are cheaper and bend more easily but any running board from a ST will switch to a ST in 2001 to 2005...

I got 2004 running boards and brackets off Robert who saw my initial post for info.

My 2002 boards were rusted out.

The 2004 boards would not work with the 2002 brackets, but the 2004 brackets and spacing were fine. I had to touch up the boards a little, but threw the brackets on as-is.

The original 2002 ones were gray, but my wife is OK with the black. Note also the Surco safari rack (off my old 92 trooper) and bed extender.
