Video Transcript for Westin Oval Tube Steps Installation - 2000 Ford F-350

Today on our 2000 Ford F-350, we'll be taking a look at and installing the Westin Premiere oval tube steps, part number 22-6020. And here's what our Westin running boards are going to look like, once they're installed. They're going to measure 6 inches wide by 75 inches long, coming with a polished stainless steel construction and oval design, with the protective covers in the front so no debris gets down in the slots. It's also going to have that nice sure grip step that's going to be nice and wide to ensure that you get the best step up into your vehicle, as well as a rear one for your extended cab vehicles. Now let's go ahead and see how sturdy they are. Open up your door and step on in. First thing we'll need to do is get underneath the bottom side of the vehicle and locate our mounting points.

We're going to have one mounting point here and one towards the front, located here. Go ahead and slide in our nut clip through the slot and around the sheet metal, until the holes line up. If you need to you can use a pair of needle nose pliers as well to wedge it in and straighten it out. We'll do that up at the front as well. Now we're going to take our bracket and put it up into place.

You want the bigger plate on the back side like so, where it'll line up with the holes. We'll take our bolt, lock washer and and lock washer and put in into place, so it'll look like this. Thread it in. Now we'll go ahead and put our bracket up into place, over the top of that clip nut like we did before. We'll take and thread in the hardware, just like so, lining up the holes on the bottom, or you can place your other bolts. All right, for these bottom ones, it's going to be a little bit different.

You're going to have your bolt, a flat washer that are come in from the outside. Then you're going to have your flat washer, lock washer and nut on the back side. Line up your holes. Since you see you have a little bit of room to move them around. Line them up.

Place your bolt in. Place your flat washer on, your lock washer, and then your nut on the back side. We'll thread it on by hand but we'll leave them a little loose. That way, when we get our running boards on we can shift and move everything around. You'll repeat the same process for the other three. All right, now here you see our brackets from the outside. We're going to go ahead and take the extension bracket and put it in place. Set that over the top with the rubber facing out and up, just like so. Then we'll take our running board, bring it up over the top. Take our clamps, which are going to look like so, and we're going to feed them up into the rail. All right, from the outside edge, feed it in and rotate it around, bringing the bolts out through the top, just like so, to where it has the ability to slide. Rotate it around and fit it into the extension bracket. Now you can see we will need to adjust it just a little bit to get it in place. Once it drops through we'll place our flat washer and nut on the bottom side to hold it in place while we do the other side. Now there's going to be four flat washers and lock nuts for each one of these. All right let's go over to the front and do the same thing. We'll go ahead and put our other flat washers and lock nuts on the back one. All right, now that we have all those in place and you can see everything is still going to be a little bit loose and have the ability to move around. Since you do have some room to slide back and forth, if you want it more forward or more back, we're going to pick an even point on both sides of the vehicle. We're going to line it up with the back side of the cab. Now we're ready to go ahead and torque our bolts down. You want to torque the ones on the back side first on the mounting bracket. Go ahead and torque those to manufacturer specifications. Now we're ready to go ahead and torque down our small nuts and bolts here. Remember that you want to try and torque them down evenly as possible when you tighten them. And that will do it for our reveal and installation of the Westin Premiere 6 inch oval tube steps, part number 22-6020 on our 2000 Ford F-350.
