Stepside Roll Pan and Bumper Pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1971ChevyTruck · 04-21-2009, 09:06 PM

Lets see some pics!! I need to decide between a bolt on roll pan and a stepside chrome bumper. I would rather have a bumper, but I don't like how wide they are. Any pics to help me make up my mind??

1971ChevyTruck · 04-22-2009, 06:38 PM

I am thinking about going with this roll pan...any finished pics of this one??

OARNGESI · 04-22-2009, 07:09 PM

I got the same problem i dont care for the role pans on stepside because how far they stick down and the bumper is too wide hopefully someone will have a better solution i was kind of thinking neither with just a flip down lisence plate that can tuck up when you dont need it plus no photo radar

I know its not exactly the right year, but heres mine with a roll pan.
Ive seen guys take the rear bumper from 78-87 malibu wagons & El Caminos, & put em on stepsides. looks decent +they have taillights in the bumper.

oldblue1968chevy · 04-22-2009, 08:41 PM

i say bumper im not a big fan of rollpans at all lol, i actually like the look of stock step bumpers on stepsides....a stock looking stepper that is......idk why i just do lol

1971ChevyTruck · 04-22-2009, 08:44 PM

I'd like stock bumpers if they wern't so wide!! lol

68Stepbed · 04-23-2009, 09:45 AM

I just don't like the roll pans. They've always just looked stuck on to me. They don't seem to blend with the lines of the bed and fenders. At least the bumper looks like it's supposed to be there.

funny thing, thats how I feel about the bumpers...they look like there just stuck on there LOL

ZombieWeinerDog · 04-23-2009, 12:06 PM

i like roll pans, but all that i have seen need to be welded in

stepside454 · 04-23-2009, 12:13 PM

the bolt in ones just dont look good.. it looks like typical bolt on gadget stuff

69lemans · 04-23-2009, 12:25 PM

I have a step bumper,I think from a 73-79 fleetside,that was cut down and narrowed to stepside proportions. It needs painted now,but I like it and its functional

69c10step · 04-23-2009, 01:06 PM

I don't care much for the bumpers my self

BossHogg69 · 04-23-2009, 06:39 PM

mine's got an el camino rear bumper - my grandfather built this truck in 1991 or so, apparently this was cool then...? I do like the way it cleans up the rear of the truck, so it's not all bad. It's mine now, so come paint time the bumper will be replaced with a roll pan with lights in it. (sorry Pawpaw!)

mike79foster · 06-20-2010, 02:14 PM

what size wheels and tires do you have on your truck?

Shyguy · 04-23-2009, 09:08 PM
