Every scene image on this website is an AI-generated illustrative image, not a photograph of a real truck or a real part. The step drawings in the product boxes are our own work.

What's on this page

AI-generated illustrative images

The scene images on this site were generated with an OpenAI image model. They set a mood or show a typical situation. They show no specific truck, no specific part and none of the products we link to, so do not use them to judge what a part looks like or whether it fits.

The trucks are meant to be unbranded. Images that showed a badge or a real maker's grille were discarded. In a few others, small lettering-like marks were painted out or cropped away by hand.

Our own drawings instead of product photos

We drew the step diagrams ourselves. They show the principle of a style, such as a tube, a flat board, a drop step or a powered step, not a specific model. We deliberately use no product photos from Amazon or from manufacturers, and no generated image stands in for a product.
