I was going to say the 60's and 70's but by the time the mid to late 70's rolled around i was working hard at a freaking paper mill.

I agree. I'd love to put on on the other side as well. Not sure if that's a possibility, however.

Aftermarket from Amp.... but it's no where near as cleanly designed since it's a generic rectangle step with different mounting to adapt to the various vehicles. To me it's fugly, but if you really want one on the passenger side it's your only option.

No need to get excited over an opinion. My point was and it's that the OEM tucks away to the point that if you don't know exactly what to look for, you don't know it's there. The Amp may have been first, but it wrecks the clean lines of the vehicle because no matter what brand of vehicle you have, it's an unsightly, ill-fitting aftermarket part.

I do agree that it's larger, and had they designed it to tuck away and out of sight while not being deployed, I could dig it. But I ordered, installed, removed and returned one because to me it looks hideous on my beautiful truck.

It's okay though, we can disagree on that. You love it and dislike the Mopar, I'm the polar opposite. Good to go.

Amp/Lund manufactures the Mopar step.... so... there's that i suppose.

Excited? Not sure how you arrived at that. I, like you just expressed an opinion.

I think it will be the most used besides my running boards. Kind of wish they made a matching one for the other side.

This is why I got a factory step. It just tucks up there so well and is unobtrusive. However for a side bedstep I will be going AMP.
 
Lund bought AMP.
But AMP still runs as it's own company.
Like Anhiser Bush owns bud, michelob and even Ballast Point.

I love the Factory bed step. Tucks in nicer than the AMP.
But I love my AMP power steps as they tuck in better than the factory power steps.
I have AMP steps on my PW, F250 and Silverado.
They tuck up and hide on the PW and F250. But not on the Silverado.

Actually, Ballast Point is not owned by AB InBev, the parent company of Anheuser Bush. They are owned by Kings and Convicts who bought them from Constellation Brands. Constellation bought Ballast Point for 1.2 Billion and lost their butt a few years later when they sold to Kings and Convicts for less than a (rumoured) 100 Million.
 
Ballast point only did it to get the distribution. They actually bought the brewing part back, but left the distribution to the parent company. They did this as the master brewer wanted to start distilling spirits.he still does that and they have a separate line for that.
So they brew and distill, but let the big guys distribute it for them.
Sad part is, a buddy of mine started that brewery. Sold it as his girlfriend didnt like the bar company. Next owners took what he built/designed and moved it up from there.
