Replacing tube side steps

I ripped the factory tube side step off my 04 extended cab F250. It got caught on a down tree limb while snow plowing and the bolts pulled out from the brackets. Does anyone know if any of the aftermarket step bolt directly up to the factory spots on the rocker panel? thanks

I found some inexpensive steps I'm considering for my rig. I just assumed they will bolt up to factory locations, so now I am wondering if they do... Being they are inexpensive.

ETA: Pic of the ones I'm looking at are in post 125 of the thread in my signature.

I had the drivers side come loose from rot on the underside, I bought stanless steel bolts and SS fender washers w/ nylock nuts and drilled up thru running board. Not as ugly as I thought it would be because the bolts recessed themselves into the rubber grips

I have Westin platinum series on my 2004 and the 1/4" brackets bolt in the same holes the factory ones were bolted to. I did use metric stainless bolts from boltdepot.com though when I installed them
