Frequently Asked Questions About Ford F600-F700 Truck Frame Steps & Acc.

Will these frame steps fit my specific F600 or F700 model year?

Most frame steps in this category are designed to fit Ford F600 and F700 trucks from 1999 to present. However, there can be variations based on cab configurations (regular cab vs. crew cab) and whether your truck has aftermarket modifications. We recommend checking the specific product description for year ranges and measuring your frame rail spacing before ordering. If you're unsure, contact us with your VIN and we can help verify compatibility.

What's the weight capacity of these frame steps, and will they support heavy daily use?

Quality frame steps for F600-F700 trucks typically support 300-500 pounds per step, depending on the manufacturer and design. Look for steps made from heavy-duty steel (usually 14-gauge or thicker) with reinforced mounting brackets. For commercial applications with frequent use, we recommend choosing steps with grip-strut or diamond plate surfaces for maximum durability and traction in all weather conditions.

Do I need to drill holes in my frame to install these steps?

Installation requirements vary by product. Some frame steps use existing frame holes and bolt directly on without drilling, while others may require drilling 2-4 holes per side. Most installations take 1-2 hours with basic hand tools. Each product page specifies whether drilling is required. We strongly recommend using grade 8 bolts and following torque specifications to ensure safe, secure mounting.

What finish options are available, and which holds up best against rust?

Common finishes include powder coating (black or custom colors), galvanized steel, and polished aluminum. For maximum rust resistance in harsh conditions, galvanized steel or aluminum steps are ideal. Powder-coated steps offer good protection and aesthetic appeal but may need touch-ups over time. Consider your climate and whether the truck is used for snow removal or in coastal areas when selecting a finish.

Can I install these steps if I have aftermarket fuel tanks or toolboxes?

Many F600-F700 trucks have aftermarket equipment that can interfere with standard frame step placement. Adjustable or universal-fit frame steps offer more flexibility for trucks with modifications. Measure the available space between your cab and any aftermarket equipment before ordering. Some steps can be modified or relocated during installation to work around obstacles. Include photos of your setup when contacting us for compatibility advice.
