Good afternoon. We have a Silverado 3500HD, duals, 4x4. Kinda a high step up to the running board for Brenda. Not so much for me. Brenda is of short Stature. Well early this summer Brenda was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Stepping up to the running board is bit harder now. I came up with the idea of maybe adding a second step to the running board. 2 steps up into the truck. Any thoughts, help, ideas would be greatly appreciated.

We just use a cheap one step plastic stool. Keep on the back seat with a towel under it.

bighatnohorse, thanks for the reply We have used a folding stool like the one you gave the link to I guess we will be using it more often now. Have to put some kind of string, strap on it so Brenda can pick it up when she is in the truck alone. And to be able to lower it to the ground when she wants to get out of the truck.

We carry a small folding step in the Jeep for our now older friends.
And we use the same folding step for the camper when the first step is more than a single step.
You'd have to pick it up after each time she gets in the truck.
