Jekyll, are those custom made side steps? Did you make them?

Those look like N-Fab steps...but I'll let the owner speak to it. I would like a set like that, but something close to the body bothers me for holding dirt/salt as my OBS makes the transition to a more true "daily" driver (meaning winter service...).

Those are indeed the N-Fab steps I found them randomly on craigslist for $150-200. I just cleaned them up and painted them and slapped them on. Being close to the body isn't that bad when I mounted them it fits nearly perfect in the crease of the rocker and the pinch weld on the bottom of the truck, I plan to spray it down with some POR-15 before winter hits. If you read through my build thread you'll see some damage to the passenger side due to bad tires and the design of the steps (not the steps fault but something I never thought about before).

That is true I do not take the truck off road at all but even normal driving I get some flex or when I load up the bed. I have some paint coming off on the passenger side because of the bed hitting the step. I am considering cutting them right after the bed or possibly selling them. I really like them but I don't want to cause any more damage. And only people 5'7 and under complain about getting in even with the steps so they may just be out of luck.

I've posted mine a few times, I don't care if you seen it, I like pictures. 
Shown with various tire sets, 285s and 315s. I finally found a Luverne brush guard without the light cutout last week, so that will be on shortly. Also a pic when I bought it with ugly wheels and 33x12.50r16.5s.
The last picture is a truck I looked at on a cold rainy day and I didn't put the puzzle together, the freshly welded driveshafts, the butt connected wiring under the dash, the VIN that I didn't lookup. It was a gasser convereted to a 7.3. I got stupid and paid a lot for it, I sold it and lost $250
Oh well the guy that bought it likes it.

Thanks, It's turning out to be pretty sweet A dealership actually talked me out of it and I have been helping getting it set up as a 'Lake' truck for the new owner.
