Default Buying Roll Pan

I'm definitely in the market of buying a roll pan for my stepside silverado. I've heard everyone say good things about Sir Mikes, and also good things from the stuff off ebay.

I'm an avid ebayer and am all about getting stuff below retail if I can...what do you guys think about these roll pans linked here?

I kinda like the second one better since it has the hole for a hitch...I don't use my truck to pull anything, but might consider spending a little more for the luxury of having that option and springing for the flip-up plate with hidden hitch attachment.

So if you guys could throw me your .02 that'd be really appreciated

They are both no name brands. However contact the sellers of them, ask them if it doesn't fit will they take it back and refund you your money.. If yes then I don't see how you could get hurt on them.. Read the feed back an see what others have said about the fitment and quality..

the seller of the first one seems to have less than perfect feedback so be careful. the second one looks okay but i'm always weary of no-name brands.

I got mine from this guy http://shop.ebay.com/chevybowtie67ss..._from=&_ipg=25. He was really good to work with and has awesome feedback. The roll pan didn't need any work done to it prior to painting and it fit perfectly. I think I got it for $110 delivered. I didn't see anything listed for a step side but maybe if you send him a message he can get one.

i think you should stick with name brand rollpans with a good reputation....just my .02,, those may be good. just be sure you pay with paypal so you can return it if its no good.

I went with a Classic Customs roll pan. Perfect fit didn't have to modify a single thing. I'd rather go with a reputable company than deal with headaches later.

A picture from my roll pan install thread. An E-bay pan. As you can see it didn't fit well and I would have been pissed if I hadn't been molding it in.

Here is the thread.

Man I got a sir michaels on my truck it took a couple of months going around with him to get it right it had issues and then all the trouble I went through with it he sent me a dented roll pan almost not worth the money but at all costs do not get a fiberglass one unless you have a fiberglass bed!
