Default Which roll pan for my stepside?

I'm replacing my rusted out steel roll pan and I don't want another steel one. It looks like my only options for a stepside is the Streetscenes urethane pan or the ICW fiberglass one. The IPCW is a lot cheaper then the SS pan, but hows the quality on each?

Thanks

if you go with fiberglass or something other than metal its gonna get stress cracks in it later on and look bad most likely..

Is it getting molded into the body or just painted and bolted on?

I dont think urethane would stress crack, maybe i'll spend the extra money on that one. the body shop manager at my dealer said he'd rather work with fiberglass though

he is not going to get any stress cracks if its just bolted in.

I would go with what the person painting/installing it wants to work with

Since you aren't molding it in,m just go with the fiberglass one, it will be fine.

Spend that extra doh on a nice steak dinner and a couple crown and cokes if your of age that is.
