help with rollpan install

[oleshifty]

Buddy owed me some money, and had a fiberglass rollpan laying around. Besides removing stock hitch/bumper, how do these mount? Could someone scan/email directions that came with theirs, or send me a decent link for OUR trucks?


I was thinking about throwing it on, then getting it painted ON the truck? Good idea? Bad? I'd rather not pay a shop to mount it.

THANKS

if it was me i would have it molded in with the seems of the bed.alot more work cuz you have to fiberglass it in and repaint bottom of bed from the seem down but it looks really good.most ppl use metal ones to weld them in though but fiberglass would work to.just my opinion though

Sell it, lifted trucks do not need roll pans.....

[gavin05]

i agree.i only like roll pans on lowered trucks.just my opinion though

i've seen a couple on lifted trucks... and I like being different. Def not molding it in though. No one has install instructions?

[Duct_tape123]

I'm not hating, cause my truck is lifted too. I use my truck like a truck is supposed to be used, so I guess my statements are biased. I understand that some folks want to be different, but owning a truck just to say you own a truck is beyond me.

I mud my truck (even though it is only 2wd), I tow a boat/race car trailer occasionally, I am in the bed MOST weekends parked around a fire, and i know how to use a hammer, so it gets loaded with lumber occasionally. BUT I am still in the process of dropping about 5g on "go fast" parts and if I can shed 60lbs by removing the bumper, I'm going to do it. It serves no purpose right now, if someone hits me, they are going to smash my differential before my bumper. And I have a spare hitch in the shed that bolts to to the frame, was just going to recess it back a little so it's not AS obvious.



BUT to anyone else reading this who HAS a rollpan. Can you measure the width (for a NBS and NNBS). This pan curves perfectly, but it is like 1.5" too long (i'm getting 63 3/8" across the mounting flange) I don't have hardware/instructions so i THINK it might be for a NNBS but I could just be looking at it wrong (just set it ontop of the stock bumper, but it was extending onto both sides of my bed. I know my truck is lil out of wack from sliding downhill into a tree, but I don't think its THAT off. Don't want to bend the bedsides out unless this is the RIGHT rollpan)

I have a roll pan on the C3, but I can't measure it right now. I have never seen a roll pan come with instructions or hardware. They kind of just leave it up to you to figure out how to mount it.

[oleshifty]

oh, instructions i found online, came with brackets for the sides, and stainless screws for the top.

Fit it the way you like it, take it off, get it painted put it back on.
