This fall there was a 67 3/4 ton truck in the demolition derby. He had a step on the box. I wish I could have removed it before the truck was obliterated.
I also have one of those NOS. Not sure if I will ever install, but it is there if I decide to do it.

They are listed in my '72 owners manual as a dealer installed option.

It was intrduced in the late 50's as a dealer add on. It is still around in some dealers (NOS) and the (original) part number is 988423 and comes with one step, mounting hardwear, and a template as to where to place it. They originally had a list price of 10 bucks.
