Build it and they will board

[Bill W]

OK
Had lots of box steel laying around so instead of paying $150 or so for a boarding ladder....and the fact I'm cheap!..... Now if I could only knit then I'd have me a cargo top

Looks much better than my "battle tested" one I use! Love the safety tape.

That looks good. My dad fabricated my ladder out of an old industrial set of steps, cause I could not see paying the amount of money people want for the correct ladders.

Just need to get around to painting mine.

How did he attach the 4x4's to the bottom of the legs?

 

[gunboy1656]

I carry those for uneven ground, til I can make something more permanent. I get a LOT of thanks for having the 2 hand holds for climbing.

"I get a LOT of thanks for having the 2 hand holds for climbing"

From the Old or from the Fat.

That is one reason I got the Deuce.....Cause Fat women can't climb.

 

[gunboy1656]

More from the older vets. The parades I do I haul the ones who cant walk through the parade, so instead of them riding on a trailer, they get to ride in style.

Really...........

Really...........

That statement is completely false.

Now THAT's a nice ladder, Bill W ! I keep an aluminum A-frame ladder in the bed just in case I need to get up there. At my age, jumping isn't really an option any more. I bungee cord the ladder to the side of the truck bed so that it won't slide forward when I drive to where I can't reach it.

 

[timntrucks]

very nice both ladders.. that makes me want to fab up some ladders for all the trucks..

 

[srodocker]

im going to need to do that for my deuce with the 46's

 

[Scarecrow1]

Very nice ladders all of them .... And just so I am clear I am old and a little fat too .which means that I live a life of learning and appling the knowledge of others that came before me . And a little fat because I have the time and money to enjoy the better things in life like food and drink and great company .....I wish the same for all of you ........skinny or fat .....

Our Deuce came with a "stock but extended" boarding ladder.... I'd like to install a HOIST for loading and unloading it

 

[bratpackdad]

Where do you guys stow those?

 

[gunboy1656]

Mine just lays in the bed.

 

[unclemikey]

You guys do good fab work!

 

[Duece4Two]

Nice job

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

Ours generally rides in the bed - although I'd sure like to find someplace to "stow" it.
Consequently, I'm looking at other designs or my own custom design for lighter weight and easier stowage.
(Other threads deal with this issue)

Those are great looking ladders. I was looking for ideas how to get veterans into the back safely so they could ride with me in parades. Thanks for sharing the pic's!
