REFERENCE DIAGRAM 01-06 Classic Body Only
Retro Bracket fit instructions only for 2001-2006
Classic Chev/GMC models.
-Drilling required for the last 2 brackets on both the Driver
and Passenger side (100545 and 100544)
-The 2001-2006 models did not come with pre-drilled holes
in these locations. Without drilling, the last 2 brackets cannot
be bolted to the truck. See below for instructions. Skip ahead
to page 8 if truck year is a 2007+ or newer.
Required Tools:
•5/16'' Drill Bit
Required Hardware:
•Qty x 4 = 5/16'' x 1'' Type B Hex
Head Self-Threading Screws
Step A (Locate and drill Pinch-weld holes)
Note that the front two bracket locations have pre-drilled holes
in the pinch-weld and inner rocker panel. Use diagram below to
locate the 3rd and 4th pinch-weld hole locations.

Step B (Locate and Drill inner rocker panel holes)
Note the pinch-weld holes and inner rocker panel holes are vertically
aligned and centered. Using the newly drilled pinch-weld holes, hold
up the 3rd and 4th brackets to the truck and mark the inner rocker
panel holes. Then, set brackets off to the side and drill the inner
rocker panel holes using the mark.

REFERENCE DIAGRAM
Bracket set-up tips for all vehicles
-Each bracket has 2 mounting points on the truck, one in the inner
rocker panel and one in the pinch-weld . Note that the holes are
vertically aligned.
-On some vehicles, the inner rocker panel hole (top hole) and
pinch weld hole (bottom) may already be pre-threaded by the
factory. If so, do not use the M8 U-Clip Nuts as they are not
needed.
(Set-up for U-Clip Nuts)
If the mounting point holes are not pre-threaded,
reference the set-up guide below:

ICI STEP INSTALLATION
Step 1 (Prep)
Beginning on the passenger
side, remove any steps if
equipped. Next, locate the 4
sets of mounting points on the
underside of the vehicle. Note
that vehicle may have tape or
plugs covering the mounting
locations. These will need to be
removed so that the mounting
locations can be accessed.
Hole locations may be pre-
threaded. If not, reference
diagram on pg. 9 for U-Clip set
up.
Figure 1.
Step 3 (Install
Brackets to Truck)
Next, move onto the Mid-Front
bracket (100544). If needed, add
U-clips to mounting points on
truck. Use (2 sets) of M8 hex
head bolts, Lock washers, and
flat washers. Use a 13mm socket
and do not fully tighten yet.
Once the Mid-Front bracket is
attached, move on to the Mid-
Rear bracket (100545) then the
Rear bracket (100544), repeating
the steps above for each bracket.
Figure 2.
Step 2 (Install Front
Passenger Bracket to
Truck)
Begin with the passenger front
brackets (2 piece bracket) 100546
and 100547. Reference diagram
on pg. 6 for set-up. If truck has pre-
threaded pinch-weld nut, use (1
set) of M8x40mm hex head bolt
and M8x3mm large washer,
otherwise use T-Bolt. Then, use
M8x25mm hex head bolt, M8
nylock nut, and (2) M8 washers.
Use a 13mm socket and do not
fully tighten yet.

Step 4 (Hang bar
on Brackets)
Next, locate the passenger side
bar. The three holes on the front
half of the bar are farther spaced
than the three holes on the rear
half of the bar. Reference diagram
on page 6. The top of the bar has a
small lip, use the lip to hang the
bar on the brackets. This will make
the installation process easier and
hands-free.
Figure 5.
Figure 4.
Step 5 (Bolt Mid-Front
Bracket and Rear
Bracket to Bar)
Next, bolt the Mid-Front bracket
(100544) to the bar, 3rd hole from
front of bar. Use (2 sets) of M8 finish
washers, M8x24x2mm flat washers,
M8x35mm hex countersunk bolts,
and M8 Nylock Nuts. Use a 13mm
socket and the provided Allen
wrench. Do not fully tighten.
Repeat steps above for Rear
Bracket (100544), last hole from
front of bar. See diagram on page 6
for reference.
Step 6 (Bolt Front
Bracket to Bar and
Front Hoop Step)
Bolt the Front Bracket to the Bar
and front hoop step. Then finish
bolting hoop step to the bar. View
diagram on page 6. Note that the
hoop step and front bracket share
a bolt. Use (3 sets) of M8 finish
washers, flat washers, hex
countersunk bolts, and nylock
nuts. Use a 13mm socket and the
provided Allen wrench. Do not fully
tighten. Figure 6.

Step 7 (Bolt Mid-Rear
Bracket to Bar and
Rear Hoop Step)
Bolt the Mid-Rear bracket (100545)
to the Bar and rear hoop step.
Then finish bolting hoop step to
the bar. View diagram on page 6.
Note that the hoop step and mid-
rear bracket share a bolt. Use (3
sets) of M8 finish washers, flat
washers, hex countersunk bolts,
and nylock nuts. Use a 13mm
socket and the provided Allen
wrench. Do not fully tighten.
STEP 8 (Tighten
Brackets to Truck)
Make sure all 4 brackets, the
bar, and the 2 hoop steps are
loosely fitted to each other and
to the vehicle. Using a 13mm
socket, fully tighten the front
bracket to the vehicle, make
sure the bracket is flush with
the mounting surface. Repeat
on the other brackets, checking
the bracket alignment as
needed.
STEP 9 (Tighten
Brackets to the Bar
and Hoop-Steps)
Now, adjust the bar from
front to back and tighten the
bar to the brackets with a
13mm socket and provided
Allen wrench. Make sure the
bar is flush with the front and
bottom face of the brackets
Figure 8.
*PRO TIP: When tightening the Finish Washers, hold the Allen Key tight so the Bolt does not
spin. Then, tighten the Nut on the backside. This will prevent the Bolt and Finish Washer from
spoinning and scratching the Bar.

locations. Repeat Steps 1-10
for the Driver Side. Note that
the Driver side front bracket
(100544) is the same as the
Mid-Front and Rear brackets
(100544). Installation is the
same.
