? to those who have installed a front roll pan - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I believe that I have seen people chop the front tips of the frame in order to install a front roll pan. If this is correct, How much? I would like to do this if needed without install the entire front clip to find out.

Thanks,
Simon

Yes you have to cut the horns off. its about 3.5 to 4 inches. I can get a better length but not now. Its just behind the first hole

If I could get the length from the radiator support bracket that would be great.

save what you cut off, so you can weld back on if you change your mind later.

I am in Utah right now but I could get you an exact measurement. If I recall it is about 2" in front of the radiator supports.
