I'd have second thoughts about round tubing unless you lay some non-skid grip tape down on it! I had checkered plated running boards on a few years back, one winter I was getting in the truck and slipped, cracked 3 ribs.. added non-skid to the running boards shortly after, then deleted them altogether

oh yea,, i know qhat ya mean,, i have it all planned out,,, but in all honesty,, your foot can slip on round or square tubing,,, some type of non skid should always be put on,,,

I started cutting and notching tube the other day for mine, this was definately a consideration for me, I plan on using some flat plate with reverse dimple dies for the anti-slip effect.

surprise, az
Im prob gonna eventually build a set similar to dirtridinz71's but the steps angled down and made so my wife can get in as easy as possible, gonna use bedliner on them so they match the bottom of the truck and so it has texture for non slip
