Installing Carr Steps on my 97 OBS

I looked at a truck that had them installed and I saw two screws that were drove vertically into the frame and that is how they were secured to the truck. Were those existing holes? Will I have to drill holes to mount these steps?

They seem to be reasonably priced and seem to fit the OBS which not all do.

Any comments?

I have them on my truck and contrary to what the others say, I think they're nice. They're solid and don't bend under my load (~200 pounds). They do mount to the bottom of the door frame. The innermost mounts use self-tapping screws that come up along the door sill (where the wiring harnesses are) and the outermost use carriage bolts through a very beefy strip of metal. I had to drill 4 holes per step to make them work and they look great. Good luck.
