does GM make a roll pan for first gens?
and if not where would you guys recommend going

 

[Hadley Hellhound]

I'm probably going to get an all steel Sir Micheal's pan from Godfather. They are about 130 bucks and I've not heard a bad thing about them.

 

[whitebowtie9]

sir michaels make great ones, they also make weld in so you don't see the gap between the back panel and the roll pan, it looks really nice, or you can get a bolt in steel or fiberglass

sir mikes or alter-images.

i got mine from sir mike and would highly reccomend it.

 

[Nates93sTEN]

I don't like the Sir Mike's. The tag hangs way too far for my tastes, and looks like ass IMO. I've got a Mar-K pan in the garage just waiting to be installed. It's very sweet.

Nate
what are you going to do with the sir mikes pan?

 

[xtremer-pxl]

yea...are you going to sell it...cuz that is the Pan that I want!!

 

[Nates93sTEN]

I don't have a Sir Mike's pan. That's my MAR-K pan guys. That's not for sale because it's the sweetest steel 1st gen pan with tag I've ever seen, and I'll be getting it welded in soon.:thumbup:

 

[Nates93sTEN]

I'll also be getting my full tailgate skin welded in soon.:rock:

 

[fetuss10]

where u order yours from?

 

[Nates93sTEN]

http://www.mar-k.com/

Shipping for all of that was $6.95, BUT someone said they had free shipping in March, so that might have been just "handling". I thought it was a fantastic deal, and it arrived in 3 days.

 

[snikah]

Nate is that a Mar-K skin also?
and did the pan come with a light for your plate?

 

[Nates93sTEN]

Yes, the skin is from MAR-K. The pan does not include a tag light, but I've been planning to use Lite-n-Bolts (lighted license plate bolts) all along anyway since I was going to put a box in the gate before I found a drop tag that I liked.

If you're handy with a welder and some tools, it's cheaper to make your own "one-off".... Here's a pic of the one I made for my truck.

K-man, thats a nice looking truck

 

[POS-10]

Yeah, that's a nice truck K-Man. My skin looks like that, but I didn't fill the body line aroung the truck. Did you just fill it or have a strip welded in?

 

[snikah]

yeah i must agree that ia a nice truck

POS-10 i just noticed that your from oahu, you down for a cruz?

 

[K-Man]

Actually, I made that skin myself out of a flat sheet of body metal. I welded it in on the top and bottom edge where the "factory" tailgate slopes inward. As for the bodyline, regular lightweight body fill should NOT be used. Welding it in puts too much heat in the panels (and grinding would take eons). It's best to use a short strand glass such as MarGlass, EverGlass, or EagleClaw. These reinforced fillers to not shrink when the harden like most lightweight fillers, and will not crack.


Trivia: Can anyone point out just how many body mods I have completed on my truck?? Or better yet, name them? :evilg:

[K-Man]

Not bad, sometimes I have a hard time rembering it all... I shaved the gas door as well (not it pics) and installed a 93 front clip (truck is an 87). Yours looks pretty good as well, love the phantom grill.
