{"title":"Sentinel Side Steps \u0026 Running Boards","description":"\u003cp\u003eSentinel is First Auto Nation’s own side step brand, imported direct and stocked in Edmonton. Two lines cover both ends of the counter: Sentinel electric side steps, which drop an aluminium board out when the door opens and tuck it away when it closes, and Sentinel manual running boards, fixed aluminium boards with nothing to power and nothing to fail. Both are listed by truck and cab style, so you order the exact fitment.
