I had a question regarding these rear roll pans. I have a '66 Fleetside and I like this idea but am wondering if you get the plain one, where do you put the license plate?
They mention that if you get the type with the cutout for the license plate that there are some modifications to the rear cross sill. I didn't want to go through that so I thought would get the plain one.
All thoughts on this are appreciated.

A buddy of mine did a roll pan with the license plate box. What he had to do was just notch the rear cross sill a little bit to make room for the plate box. In my thinking not a big deal at all.

If you don't want to do that to your rear sill then spend the cash on a electric flip down license plate

I did mine the way highwayman said no problem. the only drawback on the roll pan is that i can't completely lower my tailgate below horizontal or it hits the rollpan. also check into LED lights in a row to run between the tailgate and the roll pan. i use mine has stop and turn lights to clean up the rear.

i know its not a 66
but

I put a plain roll pan on my 51, had to space it out 1/2'' so my added lights & wiring would clear the bed flat metal.
i added two sets of plain round clearance lights,
the license sits dead center and flips up (hinged to a frame) and the hole allows me to crank down the rear under bed spare tyre.
