47-53 Front Roll Pan

Has anyone bought and installed a front roll pan from Brothers or Yogis or Sache Rod Shop. Wondering if there was a lot of work involved, like cutting the frame or anything else?

Thanks

I could not find a metal roll pan when I was building my truck, so I built my own. It was not that hard to do. I don't think there is any frame modification need, but you may have to notch it if you are going to have a front bumper like I did.

Not using a bumper, the reason I ask is because the company Sacha said I would have to cut the horns off the front of the frame. So was looking for someone that bought one of these roll pans and what they had to do to mount it on the truck.
Also this type of roll pan is made out of fiberglass.

This is a fiberglass front roll pan. I didn't install it but you should be able to tell, if your frame sticks out beyond the grill then you would need to cut it.
This truck has left for Dubai

Re: 47-53 Front Roll Pan

I bought the front roll pan (fiber glass) from Yogis. It came sort of pre-marked where it would need to be trimmed on the ends, and mine was not even the right curve shape and will take some modification to make it fit right. Not sure if I am going to make it work or make something else my self (out of steel). Overall not happy with yogi's front roll pan.

Hi Jim, yes I have a build thread just takes so long to put pics up. Truck is basically done, just doing the long process of body work. Cab is done front fenders almost complete right now installing eletric windows to make sure they fit before skimming the doors. After that should be painting by spring time then putting it together.
