ohhh, dont go there!!! i cut mine off with the stihl saw. needs a picture to explain the mountings, just like bits of angle iron that go upwards somewhere!

They get all bent off road.

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.
