Nice truck, and a nice price.

David - I wouldn't have seen that handle, so thanks for pointing it out.  But I showed it to Janey and she said "I'm not having problems getting in, and that doesn't look cool on the outside."  So I guess I'm no longer in the market.

I use a little plastic folding step stool when the wife needs to get in.
It folds and goes under her feet on the floor.
I also get a feel  when I help her in with the stool.

I did think of running boards but I don't like the look of any of the after market ones and the SC molded ones on the later factory trucks if you can find them are crazy money

I paid $70 for the used step bars on Big Blue.  With them and the door Janey gets in pretty easily.

I think Janey must be a cool chick, man! Indeed, those grab handles don't look cool!!!

I really out-punted my coverage when I married her!
