lmc.com as well.

There's a few places that have them. All around the same prices. They are indeed high.

I wish they would sell them in pairs. I have no use for the rears and refuse to pay that kind of money when I won't even use half the kit.

question to 1badgmc i see you cut the rear stp off,is thier a replacement panel for that or do have to do a lot of fiberglass work.

There is a kit, but it still requires a ton of fiberglass work...

I just gave you a link.

I appreciate that link. I was thinking that they were no longer available, since Choo Choo Customs quit making them.

As for the "steps", there's a metal-working shop near me that does custom work. I'm thinking that taking them the front pads and letting them cut them with a water jet and affix the nut to the backside, would allow for some one-off ideas.

I'm thinking maybe black anodized aluminum, or polished stainless, or aluminum with ball-milling, or ???? Engraved, etched, milled, filigree....the sky is the limit.

East Coast Customs was the place making them. My truck is on its second set of step shavers due to an accident and both sets came from ECC. I hit them up about a year ago and they have no more love for the '88-'98 sportsides.

There used to be a seller on eBay with kits, but the last time I looked there I couldn't find them.

I can't remember where I got this link, but I found it a few months ago. I have no experience with the seller, so I can't vouch for them, but if you want shaved steps at this point, beggars can't be choosers.

If you don't want to pay the price for the billet covers, why not just smoothe the steps out? I saw a 94 ecsnb with smoothe'd steps that was red, it was sweet. i'll have to look for pictures of it when I get home.
