Roll pan for '70's truck? - 07/02/14 09:51 AM
Found a couple of threads here without many specifics, searched around. A company called Mar-K used to sell them, but no more. Anyone still making steel roll pans? Or would we need to adapt a fiberglass one for later years?

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 have cut off some really clean rocker panels off a 64 bound for the yard in the sky---they look good for use as a roll panel----i would look in a chevy catalog at chevelle rockers and use something new like that....

Yeah, I know fabbing one's an option but by the time you french in a license plate recess, etc, then a prefab one starts looking like a better option. Summit has glass ones for '81 and up.

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