My bottom steps fit just fine. I did a bit of trimming with an angle grinder, and used a pry bar to move them an inch or two forward.
Alternately, replace with a cable step.

Hi pugslyyy,
Those steps look great but I don't think they could easily be fitted under the OEM Fuso top step.

Ploz,
Any Fuso fitted with 36" tyres should be fine to tilt the cab with the original FG lower cab steps, even with the original suspension. Raised suspension, such as parabolics, will of course result in even more clearance.......however I don't know how you would go with 37" tyres. I think it should be OK too but surely the lower cab steps can't have been that close that they had to be removed. If you do end up re-fitting OEM steps and they rub when you tilt the cab you can try turning the wheels to full left or right lock beforehand
which results in extra clearance and might make all the difference.
.
Good luck finding 2nd hand OEM steps though unless the original owner of your truck still has them in the shed. They are only fitted to the 4wd models. The lower cab steps are the same on an FG84 as they are on B71 models if that helps. 637 /649 steps are the same as each other but different to the 84's.

You'll get a shock if you buy them new from Fuso....I recently paid around $100 for each black steel bracket to suit my last FG84, so around $400 in total and that did NOT include the cost of the alloy treads (which I already had so unsure how much they are to purchase). If you're interested, ATW had limited stocks of OEM alloy treads with powder-coated safety yellow or raw alloy finish. They were new OEM "take off" parts so should be much less than from Fuso....but unfortunately no brackets.
.
Otherwise if you're handy as a fabricator, I'd have a go at making them from scratch....and while you're at it, make them swing so they can give a little if you bottom out on a creek bank or hit a roo or something.
