He Added Steps To His Ford Pickup
John Herren made it easier to access the bed of his F-350 4-WD pickup by adding steps that look like they could have been part of the truck’s design.
  “The top of the bed is 39 in. from the ground,” he says. “So I made steps to slip into the hitch so I can reach over the tailgate or climb in the bed with the gate down.”
  He used 20-in. long pieces of 2 1/2-in. square tubing to reach the sides of the trucks and welded on 8 by 10-in. steps made of 1 1/2-in. tubing covered with aluminum deck plating.
  “The steps are easy to take off. You just pull a cotter pin to remove,” Herren says.
  Since there is plenty of clearance, he leaves the steps on. People have commented that they look great, and Herren appreciates the convenience of being able to step up for easier access to his pickup bed.
