I don't have anything special, just the Westin chrome tube steps on mine. They have held up well for me and are pretty sturdy so no complaints. I have seen some that run the full length and include a step for the bed. They look awesome but mine ain't broke.
Also, I had the hoops for awhile and didn't care for them

When I put these on had to order for a 96 model and went with Westin brand. Pretty much a direct bolt up but did have to drill 1 hole in frame, but instructions indicated that. Good quality and after all these years they still look like new. I like them, some don't.

I have what Hussler has on my 1997. Mine are Smittybilt brand but look identical. I love them. Maybe Smittbilt and Westin are using a common manufacturer?

You live in MO, so find something that's Stainless or they will be rotten out in no time

...replacing nerf bar step pads?

Anyone had luck trying to get replacement nerf bar step pads? I bought my 2005 SCrew used, and the 3" round nerf bars were on there. Seen them on most other F150 SCrews of the same vintage--wondered if they came OEM... No kind of mfr logo in step pads, or anywhere on bars...so no clue how to run down replacement pads. They're 19-5/8" long with 4 posts that fit in holes in indented top of 3" round chrome bars. Appreciate any ideas other than just buying new bars : ) Look like images of SteelCraft nerf pads, but those have 5 posts and a bit longer.
