Mounting a Side Step here?
« on: September 11, 2009, 03:33:08 pm »
I am looking to put a side step on my 84 chevy but it has 2 gas tanks and it looks like the only place to attach a sidestep would be the frame....on that little lip you see in the picture.  I am concerned that it wont be strong enough or may bend over time.  Any thoughts on that?

I wouldn't put it on there if you actually plan to use it.
