FIG. 1 a perspective view of a right vehicle running board (both the left and right vehicle running board being mirror images and only one is shown);

FIG. 2 is a right side view of the vehicle running board;

FIG. 5 is a front elevational view of the vehicle running board; and,

FIG. 6 is a rear elevational view of the vehicle running board.

The vehicle running board is styled independently of adjacent vehicle panels. Shading is used to illustrate the curvature of the part and not color. Any functional features of the vehicle running board are not claimed. Areas surrounded in dashed lines are not claimed. Views are orthogonal projections rendered from computer aided design data. The various views are not necessarily to scale in order to better illustrate the design.

The vehicle running board is shown on an enlarged scale in FIGS. 5 and 6 .
