Ford oval tube steps ?
I've been thinking about removing the "bench" style running board on my King Ranch and replacing it with a tube style step.
I like the Westin oval tube steps, since they offer a little more "step" area.
However, I was at lunch today and walked by a late model 250 CC and it had chrome oval tube steps, and the rubber steps had the Ford logo in them.
Does Ford offer an oval step? If so, for what years? (mine's an '03). Or are they just remarketing another vendors step?
Thanks in advance!

You can buy the crome running boards just about anyware they sale after market truck parts. I kind of like the King Ranch boards, If you change them keep in mind it will alter the King ranch Package and afect re-sale

My '07 came with the factory oval steps. I'm on the fence concerning them. They work well as a step up but hang a bit low for my taste.
I am thinking maybe nerf tubes tucked in closer to the body would look better.

Thanks guys!
I know I can always go with the Westin ovals. But having the Ford ones kind of keeps it "factory".
The current bench steps have the lights in the ends, and I plan on using that power feed to run some white LED light strips just under the lip of the body to light up the steps and the ground around it.

I have seen some oval steps with a plastic splash guard between the bottom of the cab and the bottom of the oval tube. Is this a ford part? I like the step bars, but I also like the protection the "bench" step provides from rocks and other stuff the tires fling back.

I got a set of NFAB bars from 4wheel parts . . . man I kind of like those. The main tube sits real close to the body and there's bent tube steps for both doors and the bed. Worth lookin at, I guess if you're just gathering options. No drilling there either. But man, try to hold one up and get the bolts in alone. They're like 12 ft long, lol.
