Adding an entry step

If there's a discussion on the forum about best way to add an entry step, I can't find it so here goes. I would appreciate any guidance/recommendations on how to select the step and best way to install it on my 1976 F350 supercab.

Thanks

I’ll try to get a pic of my old school swing out step on my SuperCab. They used to be common but I haven’t seen another one in many years.

That’s the one. There’s only the one on my truck, on the passenger side. The first wife’s ‘72 3/4t GMC had one on each side.
