Excellent pictures and description !
Yes, I agree it's the model AS-600. I was going to buy he AS-200 but it has totally different mounting so I am very glad I asked you!
Thanks a lot ! ! !

I have these same steps on my 78 mounted the same way. I'm a tad over 300 and they hold up great. I wouldn't stand on them with my full weight and bounce up and down but for a quick helping step they're perfect.

Aren't there any problems due combining Aluminium and steel?
Meaning, that this combination result in real Bad rusting the Steel as you can observe in Landrovers for example. These have a steel chassis, steel screws but an aluminum body and they rust everywhere.

Yes, galvanic corrosion could sometimes be a problem. I think it's quite easy to
avoid here because the contact areas betweeen steel and alu is small. Can be a good idea to coat the contact areas with paint, both the upper part of the Side Step, the predrilled holes and the small 2 areas in the body that makes contact with the Side Step. You can also use the sacrificial anodes (zink) often used on outboard engines but I think it's overkill here.
N2S3. Thanks for reminding us! I had absolutely no thoughts about this problem before you mentioned it.

excellent description, I think that's the way to avoid any damages.
The used screws or rivets may cause electric connections too.
But these steps are a nice invitation for the girl friend to enter a lifted truck...
There is a seven year old boy too who has to climb inside.
The truck isn't already here, she is waiting to be shipped out of Jacksonville.

It's a bit Canadian redneck, but if you put a piece of duct tape on the steel anywhere the aluminum contacts it that will prevent corrosion between the 2 metals.

I've done work for a company that builds tanker trucks, the majority of those tanks are aluminum. The welders there swear by duct tape for preventing galvanic corrosion, they've tried all sorts of different coatings which were designed for just that and duct tape works better.
