What size nerfs?
Have a 2002 super crew. I have access to pair of nerf-bar "side steps" at a really great price. They are 6 ft long. I'm thinking they may be a little short.
What is length of OEM side step bars?
Thanks for comments, etc.

let me state first that I have no experience with installing bars, or running boards. I'm an old retired guy, so I would have to pay for some help if I go ahead.
The bars I'm looking at came from a Dodge 4-door pickup (model not known).
The 3" diameter bars are made by Westin. They appear to be stainless steel, or good chrome- with vinyl step-pads, in really good condition.
There is a threaded mounting piece inside each end. A 6" length of angle iron is bolted to one end of each (maybe came from a wrecked truck?) The angle is 2" x 2 1/2" in section.
I have no brackets on my truck, just the frame with some holes drilled. I think I could get someone to work up some angle brackets, if that's all it takes.
I know I should have done some research, but this deal just popped up.
Thanks for helping.

Too bad- I could have them for a hundred bucks
Editing...
Distance from front edge at bottom of driver door to back edge at bottom of driverside back door- 76 inches. The step bar is 72 inches.
