At a glance

Reviews are overwhelmingly positive: customers say the step/running-board filler bars fit well, look OEM-clean, and install easily, with SharpTruck support and shipping often praised. Main negatives are price and occasional issues with bending/shipping damage, labeling, and material thickness/flimsiness.

What Customers Liked

  • Hides frame rails/tanks and the gap between cab and running boards; makes truck look cleaner, more finished, OEM-like; matches truck styling; embossed logo adds a dressed-up look; frequent compliments.
  • Standard size fits extended step boards; many reports of perfect/excellent fit across F250/F350/F450, F150, Bronco; looks like it belongs.
  • Install described as easy/straightforward; typically ~20–30 minutes (some ~1 hour); drilling aluminum appreciated by one reviewer; a bit tricky solo for some.
  • Often called high quality, well made, heavy gauge (especially stainless), nice design; packaging sometimes called outstanding.
  • Keeps road debris off top of running boards; helps prevent snow/ice/slush buildup on supports so doors don’t scrape or stick; added sense of safety in one review.
  • Fast shipping (2–3 days); SharpTruck responsive—quickly replaced damaged shipment; customers would buy again.
  • Black anodized chosen to hide dirt better than stainless; chrome/stainless also praised for flawless appearance.

Things to Consider

  • Repeatedly described as expensive/pricey for what they are; higher expectations at this cost.
  • Some say plates bend very easily, arrived slightly bent/with creases; one reviewer wanted thicker material due to bending if a foot slips; another called them flimsy and urged careful installation.
  • Reports of damage in transit (bent/creased), requiring straightening or replacement.
  • Driver/passenger sides not labeled correctly in one case (though easy to figure out).
  • One reviewer noted length is ~6 inches short vs the bars; another wanted them even with the step.
  • One buyer wanted black but didn’t see the option.
  • One installer had to drill extra holes and add screws due to OEM running-board fasteners (Ford) using fewer screws than expected.

2017 Super Duty Bar Filler Review

Product came when promised with good packaging.   The stainless was flawless and of adequate heavy gauge.   Easy to install with exceptional fit.   Has the look and fit usually reserved for OEM parts.  Highly recommend.   It's nice not seeing the frame between the truck body and step bar.

Im happy with my Bar Fillers.  The only thing I think would improve it, would be to make it the same length as the bars. They are about 6 inches short.

Better Looking Than Factory Gap

I selected the black anodized aluminum fillers to hide the frame rails and tanks under the truck. I debated getting these for a very long time because of the cost but when I decided to keep my truck instead of trading it in, I went ahead and spent the money.  I am glad I did and glad I chose the black color because my truck is always dirty and the stainless would always look dirty.

I ordered the standard size and they fit my extended step boards perfectly.  Install was very easy and straight forward.  

Sharp Truck was awesome and when my order was damaged in shipping, they very quickly responded to my message and immediately shipped out replacements right away. They exceeded my expectations of customer service.  I have ordered from Sharp Truck before and will continue to do so based on this experience for sure.

have tried to research with no luck. everyone I ask say these are for full length running boards (extended length) on short beds only. looks like the same running boards on the long beds with same Part#. are there something different about the mounting brackets on long bed?

- don scott on 12/28/2017

The wheel to wheel step bars on long bed trucks will be longer so the step bar fillers will not fit properly as they will not be long enough. There would be a gap between the end of the filler and where the board ends.

I have a 2017 Ford f 150 super cab so it’s not a crew cab just has the small back door with a 6.5 ft bed will these fit my truck because the description says these are for a crew cab

- Zack on 3/28/2018

These will not fit the Super Cab trucks, only the full 4 doors vehicles.

- Admin on 3/28/2018

The question concerning full length bars , that you answered previously . If I’m not concerned about the gap at the end of filler and wheel well on full length bed. Will they fit bars? Just wanting to protect cab portion from road debris

- Don Scott on 5/17/2018

The mounting brackets on the wheel to wheel step bars for the 8' bed are in different locations than they would be with a 6'9" bed. The fillers will not work with a truck with the 8' for this reason. Since the fillers are 1 piece and custom fit the mounting locations will not match up between the body styles.
