A truck box access apparatus adapted to be mounted along the inside of the lower sill of the truck comprising a pair of spaced vertical parallel support bars having brackets at one end of each of the bars for mounting the apparatus along the inside of the lower sill of a truck body. A pair of cross bars are disposed at the other end of each of the support bars. The cross bars extend between the support bars and are spaced from each other. A step platform is slidably supported between the cross bars and between first and second extreme positions. The step platform in its first extreme position extends outwardly from the support bars and at a right angle thereto and in its second position is nested flush between the bars.
A vehicle bumper step formed by an upwardly open frame having clamp members secured to its upper surface for mounting the frame on a vehicle bumper by gripping a bumper flange. Longitudinally adjustable arms, connected with the frame, project toward a vertical surface of the bumper for stabilizing the position of the frame relative to the bumper. A step having a tread portion is movable from a first position nested by the frame to a second position projecting horizontally beyond the bumper in a direction outwardly from the vehicle and includes a hook portion engaging the frame normally preventing separation of the step relative to the frame.
An apparatus comprises in combination, an engine compartment having an engine with related engine components, and a step or series of steps. The step is securely mounted in a manner for supporting the weight of a person. The step is adapted with a non-slip upwardly facing surface for standing on is positioned for enablement of proximity positioning of a person for applying maintenance to the engine and related engine components.
