59 Roll Pan & Bumper?

Hey Guys,

On the rear of my 59 fleetside......has anyone on this forum ever installed the custom rear roll pan our vendors sell and then cut slots in the pan for the original bumper brackets to pass through and finally installed a chrome rear bumper?

Just thinking about that rather than installing a chrome bumper without the filler pan.....the rear area is very "open".

Any one done this yet?

Thanks
Tod

I have seen it done (wish i had the picture of it) and who ever did it, did an
Insane Job of having the bracket's come threw and was a real clean job!
Maybe someone will post a picture of it as i think it was on this forum and not that long ago.
Good luck with doing your's

Thanks. Yes, a picture would be great! My computer skills are not as good as my fabrication skills :-)

Re: 59 Roll Pan & Bumper?

I bought a 58 one time that had the roll pan. I like a bumper. I just used one bracket on each side & cut a little slot in the roll pan. It was plenty stout. I could raise the rear with a bumper lift & it did not give at all.
