Side Bars and Sideskirts for Your 1981 GMC C3500

ARIES – 3 Inch Round Side Bars (Part No.204040-2)

3 Inch Round Side Bars

from

$203.99
ARIES 3″ side bars add a custom look and dependable footing to your truck, Jeep or SUV. They feature a classic style, a strong design and non-skid step pads. ARIES nerf bars are all made vehicle-specific for a custom, no-drill fit, and they are available in multiple finish options. This set of nerf bars is constructed from 304 stainless steel with a polished finish. Our 304 stainless steel is a true stainless with high nickel content, offering better corrosion resistance and a long-lasting finish. The polish is a triple application, resulting in a mirror-like shine to complement your vehicle. ARIES 3″ round side bars also come with high-strength steel brackets and non-skid step pads. The mounting brackets — as well as the side bars and step pads — are custom-designed for specific makes and models to allow the nerf bars to contour to the lines of your vehicle. This ensures easy, no-drill installation and the strength necessary to provide solid footing. This particular set of custom nerf bars fits specific years of the Chevy or GMC C2500, C3500, K2500 and K3500 (see application info to verify fitment). ARIES 3″ round side bars also come with non-skid step pads made of polypropylene. These wide, custom-positioned step pads feature a textured pattern and cover a wide portion of the tubes to be more comfortable and high-traction, even in wet conditions.

Product Features:
  • Unique bends to contour to the body of the vehicle
  • Custom, non-skid step pads for safe entry and exit
  • 3″ diameter, heavy-wall tube design
  • 304 stainless steel construction to be strong and truly rust-resistant
  • Mirror-like polished stainless steel finish for a bright, clean accent
  • No-drill, vehicle-specific application for a custom fit
  • Heavy-duty steel mounting brackets for a solid step
