They're not roll pans, they're ROLLED PANS. That describes the process to make them, the metal is rolled to make those nice smooth curves.
For those of us on a budget, a rolled pan can be made using a flat piece of sheet metal and a large diameter pipe. Attach the pipe to the world, horizontal axis, and pull the sheet metal over it. You need a helper and gloves.

I understand that that is the process on how they are made. BUT, look in any magazine or talk to any truck enthusiast...they are ROLL PANS!PERIOD! just sayin'....

Roll Pan is the correct terminology....

Thanks - yeah, that's one of the treads I had found. One mention of Summit (so must be fiberglass) and, of course, Bigdads fabbed one (beautiful truck, BTW).

Forget the terminology. I've got my gloves and helper, and I'm still not sure how to attach my pipe to the world. Quote:
