Thought I would share my power step install on my 1971 F250. I realize this not a dent side, but the install should be the same if any of you dent boys are interested.
These are off a GMC truck, not sure of the year.
Front Bracket made from square tubing that I cut the the bottom out of. Just tried to use stuff I had on hand.
Rear Bracket is built in place and really is just a hanger with a brace to the frame.
The sheet metal screws were just temporary. I came back and welded the angle iron to the bed cross members.
The used steps did not come with the controller, so I went with KP Technologies.
I just stuffed the relays and controller inside the body between the door hinges.
Had to add a door pin switch as the OEM stuff would not work correctly with the KP Controller since the OEM are powered rather than just ground. I did wire the power step lights to the OEM door pin switch.
Nice truck, looks as good under as it does on top. Thanks for the pics, I have read that a few folks wonder if those elec steps will work on the 73-79's. What is the model # of them?
Not 100%, but I'm fairly certain from an 08 GMC 1500 4 door truck. From looking at the online instructions at Bestop it looks the same as all the year models for the GMC and Chevy. Yes, I believe it was an aftermarket addon.
