Default Side step for express 2500 van

Hello everyone, been quiet a while since I've been on here. I'm looking for a "side step" for my 2004 chevy express 2500 van. I've looked all over the internet for one and can't find one that fits. Wonder if anyone has an idea where I might find one? Thanks a lot.

well your van has a frame, just like pickup.
A bet that a lot of truck accessories will work on it. It might require minor modification like drilling.

Thanks for the quick reply. Any idea which one to try? The brand "Bully" has quite a few, but all says they will not fit my van. I've never put one on before, so I'm not sure whether to try a top mount or side mount or what. Any help would be appreciated. Yes, I'm willing to bore holes or whatever it takes if I kind of know where to starr. I'm getting up in years and it's hard to get up inside the van. Thanks.

Sorry I don't have any buying experience with side steps. Hopefully someone else can chime in. You might also try asking in the pickup section.

If I had to get some, I'd make sure they were aluminum.

Thanks for the reply, but still do not see any side steps that will fit my van. I see running boards for pick up etc, but I'm looking just for a side step. There is a "Bulley" brand, but so far I've haven't seen any that says it will fit my van. I've even emailed the company and they have never returned with an answer. They're from California and have their email listed but I haven't heard a word from them.
Thanks for your help though. I've about run out of hope. Thanks a lot.

Just checked again and do see a running board for the passenger side, but I need just a step for the drivers side. I'll keep looking.
Thanks

Thanks a lot. I guess I was looking for just a step and not a running board. I'm checking these out and hope to get one soon. I think they will help me out tremendously on driver's side and also on the side door. I'm an electrician and work out of the side door a lot obviously.
Thanks again!!
