Quick Step For Pickups
Climbing onto a pickup bed doesn’t get easier with age unless you have a folding step like Tim Reisenauer. The step plate is attached to a standard receiver hitch crossbar, which in turn is bolted to the underframe of the truck.
“I used a footrest from a discarded wheelchair for the step,” says Reisenauer. “It folds up and out of the way when not needed.”
The step is hinged to a steel tube that slides into a slightly larger receiver tube. It, in turn, is butt-welded to a flat steel plate. Two square U-bolts attach the plate to the receiver hitch crossbar.
“If I want to remove it quickly, I just pull the pin that secures the tube on the step to the receiving tube on the steel plate,” says Reisenauer. “I can remove the entire step and mounting bracket by removing four nuts.”
