For you old timers, were roll pans ever used during this era? I am not sure I want to run a rear bumper. I am thinking about a custom roll pan with frenched 1950 Pontiac tail lights and a let-in license plate.
Any ideas on this? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,031 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,031 |

My buddy runs a '52' with this set-up (sorry no pics!) It does look good though!  He's got '50'Poncho lites with blue dots mounted close to the outside edge, recessed license plate and his dual exhaust exits through it too! Only snag is... after a long run the exhausts protrude about 1" due to the exhaust expanding with the heat! If it's what you want I would 'go for it' it's your truck after all! I've looked at the pics of Jim and Carolines truck and it's a really neat job.I hope they don't mind if I copy it!  Good luck Jock
