Planning custom body modifications to your truck can conjure up all kinds of pictures floating through your mind. We're betting the first negative thought that pops into your head is long, arduous hours of welding, sanding and filling to achieve those custom touches. With the help of Street Scene and Trucks by Trader's, we're going to show you an easy-to-manage body mod that results in a dramatic change for your truck. If you use your truck less for towing and hauling, and more for fun and enjoyment, then a roll pan may be perfect for you. Replacing the rear bumper, a roll pan fills the gap left behind after ditching the bumper, giving the rear of your ride a smooth rear view and a much more sporty appearance. Street Scene makes a urethane, bolt-on rear pan for our brand-new GMC Sierra that would give us the look we were after without the headache that modifying your truck’s skin can bring.

1. Before we arrived, Trader's had already color-matched the Street Scene roll pan to the truck’s factory hue. Our truck had the optional backup sensors fit to the bumper from the factory and we ordered the parts accordingly.

3. A series of screws and double-sided tape held the roll pan firmly to the rear of the bed. To get the 3M tape to adhere properly, the paint was roughed up around the edges and the included adhesion promoter applied. Once prepared, the sticky mounting tape was run around the necessary edges.

4. Along the top mounting flange, five 1/8-inch pilot holes were drilled where the self-tapping screws would be placed. Predrilling the holes ensured even spacing and the ability to control the screw so it would not wander and damage the fresh paint.

6. To gain better access to the roll pan, the tailgate was slipped free from the bed and set aside. Using a cordless drill driver, the attaching screws were then drilled into the bed’s supporting wall and the roll pan mounting was complete.

7. The original license plate lights could not be reused, but Street Scene included a clip-in light that required cutting the roll pan for installation. Blue painter’s tape was used to mark the section accordingly, creating a template for the area necessary for removal.

8. It is still possible to tow with a roll pan as long as the required, vehicle specific, hidden tow hitch is installed under the truck. In this case, we did not order nor install a hidden hitch, but the license plate mount was a flip-up type to accommodate that option. Again, blue tape was laid out and proper measurements were taken before self-tapping screws were driven into the urethane roll pan to hold the mount in place.

From The Driver Seat
We know it does not seem like much in the way of custom body modifications, but adding a bolt-on roll pan is a great way to spruce up your truck’s bed without breaking the bank. A fully welded, metal roll pan is obviously more custom, but the end effect is the same and this way, you didn’t spend anywhere near as much money. The Street Scene roll pan required no exotic tools and can be installed by somebody with very little mechanical aptitude, giving the truck owner a sense of pride knowing he did it himself.
