^ For a good set I'd have to agree, though you might sit on them awhile.

I just bought a parts truck, the brackets are toast, need to be almost completely redone, but I'd still charge 150 just for the fibreglass steps and what's left of the brackets - and get it. They are getting harder and harder to find. So that'd be a general idea.
Someone can always get the brackets fixed up, but you can't make a new set of steps like that. And you can't buy new ones.

My 96 regular cab has a set on it now. I was thinking about taking them off anyway, I don't really like them (I strike my shins off them frequently).
The braces do have rust present on them (lots left to repair them or use as a mold to make new ones), and the passenger side fiberglass is less than perfect. The black steps are still there and in decent shape. Red colour.
If anyone is seriously interested in them, make me an offer plus shipping, and if I like the offer I can take them off and send them to you. Pics available on request.
P.S: I'm looking for a pair of 1980-1998 F-350 west coast mirror brackets. Maybe a trade is in order?

I inquired with a local fab shop here in Lancaster, California and they quoted me a price of $300.00 per side. I laughed at the guy on the way out of the shop.
