Hey Chris,
I just became a member today and saw your postings last night regarding the box access steps. My brother in law checked out mine and is really wanting to find a set to put on his 2009 Ford F-150 Super Crew now so he can access his box easier.
I was wondering if you are interested in selling your set still and if they are good condition? I appreciate it.

I might remove them but Wendy likes them, I guess it's the way they go in and out. If I take them off, I put up a notice, in the right place in the forum, for sale. Chris
Well since that post I bought a Diamondback cover for the bed. It has a gull wing style doors on it so the side steps are working out great. I'm keeping them now. Thanks Chris
Hi Chris,
No worries. I have some too and find that they are very practical to have on the truck for getting into the box at the front. I hope to find some for my sister and her husband too. If you have any ideas of where I could get some other than the dealer, please let me know.

My daughter has the side steps on her 2009 F -150 + the "man" step on the tailgate. She is 5 feet tall so those accessories really help her be able to get things into and out of the truck bed.
Very cool! Sounds like your daughter is driving the right brand too! lol
I can just imagine a 5' girl putting the "man" step down and the grab bar up to get into the box from the tailgate. But, hey...very cool accessories for the Best Truck in the World!
Thanks for keeping in touch, EH (some Canadian slang for ya).

6'3" here and at 36 my knees and back could definitely use the "man" step for my F-150.
I have had my truck for 3 weeks now and after driving all the other full size trucks, the Ford F-150 ROCKS!!!
ARE THESE THE STEPS YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT? MINE CAME WITH THEM AND I HAVE NO USE FOR 'EM. THEY WORK GREAT, JUST DON'T WANT THE SCRATCHES ON THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK FROM EVERYONE TRYING THEM OUT! TOOK THEM OFF WITH ONLY 500 MILES ON THE TRUCK. I'LL TRY AND POST THEM IN THE TRUCK PARTS FOR SALE THREAD IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED.
JUST FOUND OUT I CAN'T POST 'EM YET AS I DON'T HAVE 25 POSTS. I'LL GET 'EM LISTED SOON!
