Okay finally got through to Nexus Parts. They will no longer sell the steps. They sent out to the International Dealer, who pull the build list for the VIN and came back with Black Powder Coated Aluminum Steps. That dealer was nice enough to recommend I use my local International Dealer. Who priced the steps for me. ~$225/step and yes you need 4. Navistar Part Number is 3578201C1 for the steps. My local team then found aftermarket for ~$90/step (I found similar on line for ~$65-$80 plus shipping. So they are ordering them. Then there is the two spacers you need for the passenger side. Each one of those was ~$160/each. Plus the bolts and nuts, final cost is just shy of $900. And YES I ordered the parts and we are still doing it. Because the original steps look better.. Thanks for leading the way on this project.

Nice Lance truck camper. The new steps look alot better.

I've replaced/ upgraded all my Self Tapping Screws on my rig with Nutserts. Makes life easy and no need to back up a nut on the unreachable underside to tighten. And the best part is if you strip out the threads in the Nutserts all you need to do is drill out the Nutsert like a rivet and pop in a new one replace it. If those were my steps I think I'd be tempted to raise up that bottom step by bolting in a 1" square tube spacer between the top of the bottom bracket and the bottom of the step to lessen the distance between the first step and the second step. But my wife is only 5'2". The premise is to equalize up the distance between the distance one needs to raise their legs to get in the cab.

I think the truck steps are an improvement over the nexus steps which are fugly. I personally would look for something else but not sure what, but here is the thing the only person who needs to be happy is Lynn cause she is the boss and it is your rig at the end of the day so you have what you like and be happy, enjoy your camping and stay safe getting out in that cold weather, 48 that is like early morning in January cold. Working on the weekend sucks but it has to be done some times.

Def tank is on the driver's side, accessed from the first door on the chassis. It's open to the air but behind the door. We have considered getting another fuel tank for the driver's side but that's a big undertaking... But with us you never know 😂 I wouldn't put it past us lol

Like you guys I'm not a big fan of the sheet metal steps. Not so much for aesthetic reasons but because they are so loud on rough roads and they are really slippery when wet. The non-skid stuff needs to go to the outside of the step not be a half inch in. I've thought about going to the steps too, maybe I'll do that. I will probably go to stainless bolts so they don't rust. I don't know what MIke brought home there at the end, but I don't think it's going in the Wraith. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
