They are bracketed under the door sill to the chassis rail. A shelf can be slung across them for things like battery carrier, aircompressor and air tank (only mentioning that as that was on my truck when I got it, fitted with airbrake system)

So far the only use for folding steps is to warn you that you are about to cave your tank in on the series 2 (tank under drivers seat). as such they don't fold any more.
