Curious what type antenna you tried under the running board. The small hidden type might not have worked very well with all the metal above it but am surprised a reasonably extended mast type didn't pick up more. If it was a mast type was the base held with some type of metal bracket so it could be grounded just as if it were mounted on a fender. If so, any chance the mast also became grounded in some way. Mast would need to be supported in a place or two but only with some plastic or other insulating material.
