Stepside Roll Pan and Bumper Pics

[1971ChevyTruck]

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??

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

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.

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]

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

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

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

[stepside454]

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

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

I don't care much for the bumpers my self

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!)

I also didn't like how wide they were so I bought a chrome stepbumper for a mini truck. They are alot narrower. I will post a pic tommorrow.

[mike79foster]

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

Ive been tryin to figure out what to do with mine until i switch over to fleetside, and im surprised at myself that tcb-1's "naked" look is my fav so far...

I dont have a stepside, but I wonder how a narrowed and tucked bumper would look on a stepside bed? It would be costly if you decided to rechrome it, but you could smooth out the bolts as well to really clean up the rear end. If it was a painted bumper it would not be costly at all if you can weld and do bodywork.
