RE: 97 F250 2WD Std Cab Too High

I got this truck today. It is difficult for me to climb
into the cab and my wife can't get in at all. Is there
some gadget I can install to make entry easier?

I have seen trucks with a little step below the door.
Where are these steps available? Are they bolt-up
or do I have to get someone to weld them in place?

All suggestions appreciated.

cost is around $160. they bolt on, not welded

Lund also makes steps for Ford trucks. My 1993 came (used) with Lund
steps. Basically look at any local or online shop and you'll find a
variety of competing options.
