Nerf bars VS. Side Steps

I've got a 88 f250 single cab well here is a pic

anyways I can't decide wether I want to put chrome nerf bars, 20" or 10" side steps on the truck. I have gotten new tires and wheels and wanted something to spice the rest of it up a little. I was wondering if someone could post some pictures or there trucks with it either way or just feel free to give some input. I'm also wonder about who makes good products for this stuff??? plz help.

I think the side steps look better on a regular cab truck than the nerf bars. 10" or 20" would be personal preference as 10" look to small on some trucks and on others the 20" look to big. I am actually thinking about putting 20" on my 92', but I'm gonna do a dry fit them first to see how they look.

My vote goes for EB side steps.

I'd vote for neither! Your truck looks pretty good as is, but it's not high enough off the ground to justify steps or bars... But if you really want one of the two, then I'd suggest full-length wheel-to-wheel nerf bars.

I would not put steps on it either, but I'm assuming he needs them.

The full length ones look like a work truck. I wouldn't do that.

The reason I suggested the EB ones is that they are much more subtle.

That picture was when I first bought the truck it's a few inches taller now and is a pain getting in and out of. Thanks for all the input, I think I'm gonna go with some 10" side steps or maybe I can find some that are just a lil bit bigger then 10"

I agree with either the EB steps or the full length bars. Aluminum steps would look good as well. I dont care for nerf bars on a standard cab truck though, they are so short they just look a little odd.
