Add a touch of vintage style and extra functionality to your Bus with the EMPI Aluminum Side Step Set. These steps are a classic "period-correct" accessory designed to make entering and exiting your Transporter much easier for passengers.

Crafted from high-quality polished aluminum, they bolt directly to the frame, providing a sturdy platform that complements the iconic lines of the Bay Window Bus.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

  • Bolt-On Design: These steps are designed to bolt to the chassis/jacking point area. While they are a direct fit for stock height vehicles, check for ground clearance if your Bus is significantly lowered.

  • Keep the Shine: To maintain the polished look, use a quality aluminum polish once or twice a year to remove road oxidation and keep them looking like new.

  • Hardware: Ensure all mounting bolts are tightened to factory specifications during installation and re-check them after the first 50 miles of driving.
