those appear to be aftermarket steps, I would look around online for replacements, those look like a pretty common design you should be able to find new ones for pretty reasonable. step prices can vary a lot for practically the exact same thing so shop around, a lot of times the same design is marketed under a variety of brand names
you could try looking underneath them all over with a flashlight and see if you can find a brand name or part number on them could be a sticker or stamped in (maybe).
If anything they look like a z71 style

that's why I said you may just end up having to buy replacements, plenty to choose from
Yeah I was thinking that as well but mine currently have 5 mounts they hook too and all the ones I was seeing were 3 mounts

are you verifying the body style? as long as you buy ones for the Tahoe and not Suburban then the mounts won't matter, could be the ones on there now just had extra mounts for sturdiness and if the extra mounts won't work on the replacements then just take them off. All you have to worry about is getting the correct size and read any reviews you can find before you buy, some steps are not all that great.

Those look like GM Accessory 6" Chrome Assist Steps. RPO VXH is the car was ordered with them. Probably 20990101.

Have similar ones on the Sierra that we are going to either re-chrome or have them powder coated black.

Replacements run about $700 delivered or installed.

I thought they looked like ones you would see on a pick up as well but wasn't sure if they made them for the swb or not
a quick search shows some on ebay as well for about $400

Great find! I always find the ones for the Sierra at $400-$500 hundred plus $200 shipping! While we're on the subject I ought to have another look, it's been awhile! Thanks Wes!

Chrome ones are still north of $600 delivered but there is a set of black ones for the Sierra for under $500. BlackBear tune comes first though!
