Anyone Built a Roll Pan?
Has anyone on here built their own rear roll pan from scratch? I know that the "bed-sides" of the fleetside beds has the perfect curvature for a roll pan, but I don't have an extra bed to cut up for such. I pulled my rear bumper off this evening to put the rear cross piece back in and liked the look without the bumper...soooo, I'm not going to put it back on. I would like to see some pics of roll pans 'formed' or made from scratch. Btw, I can buy one off of ebay for $139 plus another $40 to ship it to me....but I can buy a sheet of 18 gauge metal for a fraction of that an make my own....Pics and feed-back please....

Hey Steve.....there are several threads on here where people have constructed their own roll pans from scratch....just use the 'search' function and you can see those cool threads.

I feel your pain brother. If you want an immediate answer, use the FB page. You will generally get a response on here but takes longer. Good luck in your search!SteveCanup wrote:Hey!

Steve: IIRC, there was at least one fellow that took a styleside tailgate that was rustyat the bottom, and used the uppermost portion to build his roll pan. and as a bonus, you get that little bead line that runs horizontally across the tailgate above the latch as an accent line on your roll pan:)

Re: Anyone Built a Roll Pan?
Thanks guys....I've been staring at my bumper for the past day or so....Just staring. My rear bumper is straight as an arrow, but the chrome finish is deteriorating. I am thinking about cutting it up and making it shorter and recessing it. Hard to describe....but not too hard to visualize. I'll post pics on my build thread if I pull the trigger on this....I also have an extra front bumper that is slightly bent that I might play with a little....

That's a common hotrodder trick. Cut n tuck em to make them blend more with the body. Bet it will look great. Especially if you fill in the wheels.

Cut & stitch, my man. Gutsy but the results can be astro-nomical. Man, do I want to cut something up right now......
Guess I'll go cut the front bed panel out of my 66
