Van steps/running boards

Anyone interested,

I ran onto a set of van steps exactly like the ones on the Fedex and UPS delivery vans. They are galvanized steel, 99" long and have pipe brackets with mounting plates welded on. They are actually a tube step with a top plate welded on. Some have the stick on traction strips. The seller claims to have about 30 sets left.

They are in the Long Island area and the seller is not too keen on handling the shipping. I asked if they were going to list them on Ebay, where I found mine, or would be interested in selling them outright. I was told to tell those interested to call, Alan, 516/729-7761. Call no later than 7:PM weekdays or on Saturday.

Jim

By the way, I'm mounting them on a 2000 E250 base wheel length.

These are the OEM type I've seen installed on more than a few Ford vans here locally---give me great ideas when I fabricated my own. They are quite substantial as can be seen in the photos----lots of beefy material used liberally.

I can see why the seller might not want to get involved with shipping them----would be a bear packing and cost would be crazy no doubt.

Thanks for the images Jim-----very helpful and might net the guy a few sales if only close to home for him.

Hey JW! I've been looking for a set of these for quite a while. They're solid and look like they are very well built.

The shipping from Long Island to the nearest FedEx terminal here was around 100.00. All the seller did was bind them together and wrap any sharp corners to prevent any injury. They weren't real happy about getting involved in the shipping but I did all the setup all they had to do was tape them together.

I can't build them for what I have in these ones.

Running Boards attachment?

Hi,

So I came across another set of these, exactly as pictured, running boards for sale. Less than $200 for the pair... There are no brackets and the owner doesn't know how they were attached. Will I need to drill or just bolt it on? Anyone can describe or provide a photo of how these attach? Thanks!!!
