Original Cj5 Side Step Identification

These pics are driver's side, 1956 CJ5 that had steps when new. Note the floor bolt-holes are slightly misaligned with each other.

I neglected to photograph the rear set of floor holes, maybe I can get to that this weekend.

You can also see a small torn hole in the floor, from where the steps got ripped off on the trail, as they always do.

 

55 Jeep
just delivered . one owner

tub underside . hat channels replaced . note threaded holes for steps

what I believe to be stock steps - jeep only had one owner

 

What is the correct size / pitch bolt hardware for the step mounting?

 

5/16" coarse, IIRC. Better get a second opinion, it was a long time ago.

 

Now that I have these cleaned up from the POs parts box, I wanted to ask - are they OEM for a 1966 CJ5 Tux? And, guessing the welded one is not stock but a Bubba repair, right? Looks like the one of my two that is in better shape is spot welded:


welded one with extra bracket on bottom:


My plan is to fix this crack and then prime and gloss black then and put them back on a shelf...

 

I had mentioned before and maybe need to say it again. These steps come left and right.

 

Yes and you can tell which by the side brackets are different height.
