Is it possible to affix running boards made for a Honda SUV, to my Astro?

Hi,

Anything is possible, but they won't likely fit properly. You will need to fabricate new mounting brackets. Have you checked to see if there are running board mounting brackets made for your vehicle? I feel confident there are.

I would first identify the bracket design for your vehicle. Then, see what modifications are needed to adapt them to the new running board.

Try that and let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe
