Frequently Asked Questions About International WorkStar Fuel Tank Steps
What years and models of International WorkStar trucks are these fuel tank steps compatible with?
These fuel tank steps are designed to fit International WorkStar models from 2008 to 2018. They're compatible with WorkStar 7300, 7400, 7500, and 7600 series trucks. However, compatibility can vary based on your specific fuel tank configuration and aftermarket modifications. We recommend checking your truck's exact measurements or contacting our support team with your VIN for verification before ordering.
Are these steps made from aluminum or steel, and how do they hold up against rust and corrosion?
Most International WorkStar fuel tank steps are constructed from heavy-duty aluminum, which naturally resists rust and corrosion without requiring special coatings. Some economy models use powder-coated steel. The aluminum options typically weigh 40-60% less than steel alternatives while maintaining excellent strength. For maximum longevity in harsh conditions or road salt exposure, we recommend the aluminum steps with reinforced mounting brackets.
How difficult is the installation process, and what tools are required?
Installation typically takes 1-2 hours per side and requires basic hand tools including a socket set, drill with metal bits, and measuring tape. Most steps use existing mounting holes when possible, though some applications require drilling 2-4 new holes. The most challenging aspect is usually accessing the mounting area around the fuel tank. We include detailed instructions with diagrams, and many customers successfully complete the installation themselves. Professional installation usually runs $150-300 if you prefer.
What's the weight capacity of these steps, and will they support heavy daily use?
Quality International WorkStar fuel tank steps are rated for 300-500 pounds depending on the model. The steps feature reinforced grating or tread plate surfaces with anti-slip properties that meet OSHA requirements. For drivers who climb in and out multiple times daily, we recommend models with welded (not bolted) tread surfaces and heavy-duty mounting brackets rated for commercial use. These typically show minimal wear even after years of daily use.
Do these steps come in different finishes, and how do they match the OEM appearance?
Available finishes include polished aluminum, brushed aluminum, mill finish, and black powder coat. The polished aluminum closely matches factory chrome bumpers and mirrors, while mill finish provides a more utilitarian look that hides scratches well. Black powder-coated options complement trucks with black accents. Most aftermarket steps match or exceed OEM quality, with some featuring upgraded tread patterns and reinforced corners compared to factory steps.
