safty handles

for lack of better word...

I am needing to install some Grab handles in my 93 F150

my wife " were getting older now" has been falling outta the truck..

I was wondering if anyone knows how these are mounted.

Like on a wall ya use anchors.

in a truck would it be ok just to screw into the metal and how far can I go with the screws....


Thanks

I guess my discreption was a bit hard to understand.


while getting out of the truck she falls..
and while getting in it's hard for her she needs a pull handle like they have in the newer cars and trucks

My wife has a simalar problem getting into/out of my truck. Picked up a set of handles from a local 4x4 shop in town. I did end up buying screws that are stouter than the cheapie screws that came with the handles though. They were preety simple to install. I did hit the holes with some primer....just to be safe....before I put the handles on.
