Bought nerf bars and no instructions on how to install them. They are for a 97 f150 extended cab 4x4. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Don't believe they are frame mount but not 100% on that.

 

Are those the Westin Nerf bars? I have a set and they do mount to the frame. I think you can downl oad the install instructions from their site.

 

if they are Weston, they mount to the frame- there are rubber grommets that you remove from the frame rails- the brackets mount here.
I will see if I still have my instructions at home, if so- I may be able to scan them in here for you- that is if you cant get them online

 

That would be great. I have been to their site but can't seem to find where installation instructions are.

There is the link to the instructions, just pick out which type of truck you have. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view them.

 

Westin's mount to the body not the frame,

 

That would be great. I have been to their site but can't seem to find where installation instructions are.

 

The Westin's I have mount to the frame.

 

the ones I have mount to the underside of the cab instead of the frame (but they aren't westins) and i got them off ebay truckparts311 i believe is that the ones you got???

 

If you look at the picture, there are 4 plates with bolts on them. You pull off the tape covering the back of the rocker panels and the slide in. Then bolt the bracket to that with the sheet metal of the body sandwiched in between.

 

Didn't get from truckparts311 but I think I understand now where to mount them. They didn't come with straps either so I will have to fabricate some of those.

 

I'll take some pics of mine tomorrow and post them up here for you maybe I can help since mine looked like your picture when i got them

 

here is how mine are mounted







hope that helps you out

 

That's the same way my Westin's are mounted to the body (cab)
