Hickey swing down folding steps

[wazzabie]

Recently I acquired some hickey folding down steps that originally was on a GMC Desert Fox. These are shown in the catalog below and have rubber mats with "HE Step". I have both sets for drivers and passenger side. This was over a $100 option from the dealer. I would like to restore these. The spring and folding mechanism works good.

I've also seen the step made from cast aluminum. Where these with the rubber mat only offered with the GMC desert Fox?
