AMP Research PowerStep Kit for 1980–1997 Ford F-Series & Bronco Finally AMP Research PowerSteps for Your OBS Ford Want the convenience of modern power running boards without ruining the clean look of your OBS Ford? This setup brings AMP Research PowerSteps to 1980–1997 Ford F-Series trucks and Broncos using our custom mounting solution. Open the door and the steps automatically deploy, giving you a wide, comfortable step into your truck. Close the door and they automatically retract underneath the body for a cleaner appearance and improved ground clearance. It's an ideal upgrade for lifted trucks, daily drivers, restorations and high-end OBS builds where traditional running boards just don't fit the look. Why PowerSteps on an OBS? Traditional running boards are always hanging below the truck. PowerSteps are there when you need them and gone when you don't. OPEN THE DOOR → STEPS DEPLOY CLOSE THE DOOR → STEPS RETRACT That means you get easier cab access without permanently hanging a large step underneath your truck. ✓ Perfect for Lifted OBS Trucks Running a lift and tired of climbing into the cab? PowerSteps provide a significantly easier step up into the truck for you, your passengers and your family. ✓ Clean, Hidden Appearance When the doors close, the steps retract underneath the truck, maintaining the clean body lines of your OBS. ✓ Better Ground Clearance Unlike fixed running boards, the steps aren't constantly hanging down below the rocker when retracted. ✓ Heavy-Duty Construction Black extruded aluminum step boards provide excellent strength and durability while resisting corrosion and everyday exposure. ✓ Automatic Operation The steps deploy when the doors are opened and retract after they're closed, giving your classic Ford a feature normally associated with much newer trucks. The Solution Here's what makes this setup different. AMP Research does not manufacture this PowerStep configuration specifically as a direct-fit 1980–1997 Ford OBS application. The PowerSteps themselves were originally designed for another application. We've developed the mounting solution necessary to adapt them to the OBS Ford platform. That means you get the quality and operation of an AMP Research PowerStep with the components needed to make the system work on your classic Ford. Fitment Designed for: 1980–1997 Ford F-Series Ford F-150 Ford F-250 Ford F-350 1980–1996 Ford Bronco Fitment and installation requirements can vary depending on cab configuration, body configuration and previous modifications. What's Included The package includes: AMP Research PowerStep assemblies PowerStep motors and associated AMP components Important Installation Information This is a custom-fit application not a factory AMP Research OBS kit. Because these PowerSteps were originally designed for another vehicle platform, installation requires modification and trimming to properly fit the OBS Ford cab. This should not be considered a simple factory bolt-on AMP application. Installation requirements can vary depending on: Cab configuration Truck configuration Existing modifications Desired step positioning We recommend installation by someone comfortable with automotive electrical work, measuring, trimming and custom-fit components. The extra installation work is what makes it possible to put a modern AMP Research PowerStep system on a truck that AMP does not offer a direct application for. Modern Convenience Without Changing the Character of Your OBS You've already spent the money getting your truck sitting right. The suspension is done. The wheels and tires are right. The paint looks good. The last thing you want is a bulky running board permanently hanging underneath it. PowerSteps give you the best of both worlds: Easy access when the door opens. Clean OBS body lines when it closes. Whether you're building a lifted daily driver, a full restoration or a show-quality OBS, this is one of those upgrades you'll appreciate every single time you get into the truck. Give your OBS the convenience of a modern truck without making it look like one.
