Steel Rollpan/back to bumper - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone on here has ever cut off their steel Rollpan, and put back on a bumper? I have a '72 that I bought with a steel pan and I would like to replace it with the factory bumper. Any hassle other than the obvious? Thanks!

The previous owner put this roll pan on my '72 Blazer. He'd cut the frame ends off but gave the pieces to me. Don't know if I like the bumper or pan look better. You might have to fab. some pieces if your frame is cut.

Thanks for the reply! I guess I should check the frame

If I read it right, the 69-71 Blazers didin't have the extra frame horns like the 72 does. You should be able to use the 69-71 rear bumber brackets in either case, unless the previous owner cut the frame too short....
