Does anyone know of a company that makes a front roll pan for an '85 GMC pick up? I want to elimante the front bumper to give it a throw back look of the 1960's race cars.

Ther is no price limit on the opening post! Lol
it sounds high, but you get great quality!

dv8customs · 10-14-2009, 03:59 PM

With the Grant one you are mostly paying for the custom bumper you get.

CHEESE · 10-14-2009, 04:00 PM

They also offer the roll-pan by itself!

I was after the same idea, and made these push bars at work. Sent them out to be plated. Get lots of compliments.

Hadn't seen that Grant one yet, anyone have any better pics of it installed?

I'm not a big fan of front roll pans, but that would go well with your truck.

justpball · 10-15-2009, 09:46 AM

I email grant about it a few days ago, and they said they have O pics of it installed...500.00 bucks for something I can see a finished product on...

Yeah me either... I think it might be pretty neat but then I would have to make one for the rear as well.

I think if it were a little taller and rounder it would look better on the 73-80's. Also I think the squareness of the bumper they have built lends itself more to the 81-87 body style.

I'd be curious to see how well it would mate with the different style splash apron of the 73-80. The earlier one has a much bigger "kick" in it to meet the rounder bumper. and it looks like they are using the bumper to cover it.

I'm also not big on the idea of welding my fenders together with a fairly flimsy piece of sheet metal; or welding my fenders together at all.

(FBI) fender bender incorperated also makes them for around $120

CHEESE · 10-15-2009, 09:53 AM

Tell them you will be the guenea pig, and will do great work and get them some pics! See if they will come off the price to help them out!! Sounds like a win/win! All they can do is say no!

justpball · 10-15-2009, 10:30 AM

tried exactly that, and no is what they said.

smashingchuck · 10-15-2009, 10:53 AM

Well, with the only picture of it we have it just looks to me like the bumper needs to be taller to fill in some of the void created below it. Or space it down some and center it but i know the reason its up so high it to cover up the factory splash apron.

Those look awsome. Any idea what it would cost to make me a set?

I don't know, that bumper looks to "ford mustang" to me.

storked82 · 10-15-2009, 06:57 PM

HI GUYS

IMO I like the looks of a roll pan in the front I been wanting to get one for my 82 but the turn signals are in the bumper I dont know if I could do away with them or cut the roll pan and make them fit LOL

Take care

I don't know what year it is but convert it to the one that has the signals in the grille.

**N2TRUX** · 10-15-2009, 11:34 AM

To mkae it look right you would need to section the bottom of the fenders and the pan an inch or so. That would pinch the front a little and resolve the thing bumper issue.

Of course that would lead to the need to shrink the wheel opening a bit. Kinda like what Jason Hill did on his latest version of the Blazer.
