ABSTRACT:
A step for coupling with a folding panel of a vehicle such as a tail gate of a truck or the like, includes a flat plate mounted against the inside surface of the folding panel, and a pair of support rods extending from the plate and through the panel to facilitate rapid removal of the plate from the panel. A pair of step supports are pivoted at opposing flanges to the plate, and support a step at the extremity thereof. The apparatus is dimensioned such that the step supports and the step may be rotated to a storage position across the plate and the panel when not in use.
