How to Mount a Steel Roll Pan

One of the more popular modifications for custom trucks are steel roll pans. It cleans up the outside of the truck, plus makes the rear end look a lot smoother. For this example, we'll install a Sir Michael's roll pan on a 1997 Chevrolet Silverado.

Things You'll Need

• Sir Michael's rollpan
• Drill
• Phillips-head drill attachment
• Tape measure
• Clamps
• 3/8-inch ratchet and socket set

Instructions

1. Remove the rear bumper using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket set. There may be electrical harnesses that run to the bumper, so disconnect them at the harness with your hands, if necessary.

2. Clamp the roll pan into place against the bed sides. You want the pan to sit flush with the sides.

3. Measure the distance between the top of the rollpan with the bottom of the tailgate. Make sure it's the same distance, and adjust with the clamps, if necessary.

4. Remove the tailgate by tilting it at a 45-degree angle from the bed and pulling it out passenger side first. Unclip the tailgate straps at the same time.

5. Screw the top of the rollpan into the bed using the provided self-tapping screws and the drill.

6. Screw the rollpan into the bedsides using the provided screws. Make sure that it's lined up completely before you set it in place.
