This is for installing oem step rails on trucks that don't have pre-installed weld-nuts in the frame.

Free you just pay shipping

Dang, too slow. It's ok though - I still haven't found a set of steps that aren't on the other side of the country.

Sorry guys, these are spoken for.

mpgrimm2, I have extras because my truck came with the pre-installed weld nuts but no step rails, so I bought new step rails and they cam with the rivnut kit.

You wouldn't happen to have a part number for those?

I was looking for that a few months ago and never could find it.

My experience.....If you call the dealer, they will tell you that they only come with the steps and aren't available otherwise. However, if you call the dealer, they can order the above part number. I called one of the local dealers in my area with the part number and they actually had it in stock. Cost me about $30.

I should mention that the above kit only includes the rivnuts and corresponding bolts. It does not include the set tool or the smaller bolts that run through the pinch weld and screw into the step bracket.

For the tool, it was in my kit. The tool is 1 bolt, 1 lock washer and 2 nuts. You can see the bolt in his install kit above.

I know, I was simply clarifying that the part number I posted only included the rivnuts and corresponding bolts. In other words, it's not the exact same just that comes with the steps but, is just a part number for the rivnuts and bolts.

What does the install tool look like?

Is it something you can work around using other common tools?

In the picture I posted in the first post it is in the ziplock bag with the paper that says installation instructions. It's a bolt, a washer, and a nut. In post 11 the hulk says there are two nuts and a lock washer

Yeah, you can make your own "tool". It requires a bolt that will thread into the rivnut, two nuts and a star style locking washer.
