The deck assembly includes a metal running board platform and an overlying step pad formed of plastic and having a number of integrally molded resilient tabs for effectuating a snap fit engagement with the platform. Vinyl end caps are mounted to opposite ends of the deck assembly by a pin and post connector to provide a rigid connection capable of withstanding excessive use yet capable of accommodating thermal expansion and contraction of the running board components.
