Im a little partial to the more molded look of my license plate indention....
Just have to remember to take one step back should I ever pull the bed. The roll pan was relatively cheap. I don't mind the looks.

Thanks Bill, really had no choice but to weld it after the trimming. Would not have looked right and wouldn't have fit right in other places. Doing the work myself is a love hate kind of thing. Hate it while doing it but love it later.

Looking good so far. Hats off to you for doing this yourself. Off topic question, what kind of floor is that in your garage/shop? Looks really good. How is maintenance on it?

Looks bad ***!

IMO while in there paint the part of the bed between the roll pan and the tail gate also, make it looks much better.
