Short bed step supports - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Who makes the short bed step support that goes from the the bolt that the fender attaches to then to the frame ? This is not the step support that ties the step into the bed but the support that goes from the rear of the step with one bolt and goes through the frame with a single 3/8 nut. Mine are bent from previous encounters with non moving objects and I would like to find new ones or even get a set of good used ones!

Ogre, by chance has anyone actually used your steps ? If so did it damage anything since you didn't have the rear supports?

the only damage was light scratches in the paint

it's pretty rigid with the fender bolted on
