Installing A Roll Pan On The C1500 

Yeah, my brother lives down in Texas and he tells us all the time he misses being up here.

Looking back I hated that my pops was so far away! Me in Maryland and him in SW Florida...16isH hours drive. We would get things of all sorts done on any and everything when we did get together. Throughout 2015 he helped me in looking for a new house to buy as well as with the purchase. Settled on Halloween 2015. He intended on selling his home in Florida and coming to live with me and my son. While fixing the house up, and looking for a new home back closer to Maryland. Sadly a mere month after settlement he passed away the 30th of November 2015. Talk about being devastated!! With that said move a little closer if possible before it's too late. This November will be six years and it feels like yesterday at times.. anyhoot best of luck in your ventures with your truck, and your pops.

@@bmores0nly sorry to hear that. My Parents made their choice. After the crash of 08 when the family all left CO, 5 of their children ended up here in UT. They went to live near my Sis in WA. Kind of a snub to all of us here, but we go up to see them as often as we can and they drive down here.

Nice! The 2 door Tahoe's are so sick when they're dropped and on some nice wheels

SniderTron 3000 haha mines white with tan leather interior and it came from California so it's completely rustless frame is amazing I'm gonna lower it first I think

That might be in the cards for this. Like, as it is, it's plenty good enough for me, but I wouldn't want to like "show it off" or anything lol

Me neither, man. It was supposed to show up today and I still haven't gotten a shipping notification. I sent them a strongly worded email lol

That fucking blows! Maybe they'll give you a discount on the exhaust work lol

SniderTron 3000 lol hopefully, but nah engine ended up sitting three inches back from original

That's some pretty good force! lol Glad it it was the truck that took most of the impact

He has a 6th sense for coming out to the garage just when I need something torched lol I'm okay with it

SniderTron 3000 thats awsome.. my dad was a dead beat and never around.. BUT! out of that came the necessity for me to learn to fix my moms cars and learn to wrench..

I've heard a few people say they hate those things lol I've honestly never had any issues with them

I appreciate it, man! I was honestly just hoping to get to 10k by the end of the year. I guess I'll be needing a new goal lol

SniderTron 3000 10k, you truly deserve 100k

Maybe someday lol

Technically, I think all videos of mine are dad videos haha

Yeah, I know they were the bumper mounts lol I didn't see any bolts holding them on, but full disclosure, I didn't look really hard haha

Not a problem anymore! Rollpan & hitch delete was the first thing I did on my 97 c1500 weight savings and just looks a hell of a lot better.

Just 3 bolts holding those horns on. Removed mine with a ratchet laying on my back in gravel. Try to do as much as possible the correct way. Just lends itself to better results most times. I have the same roll pan & watching your video trying to figure out how you dealt with the horns/fender portion as mine isn't shaped/contoured the same & I was wondering if you just mounted it behind the fender & used filler to blend it in. Maybe I have to cut/trim it to fit but then the mounting holes on the bottom far ends would be cut off. Wondering if I got the wrong part but it fits up under the tailgate etc

It's a little tougher than a yank, but no where's near a rip.

I'm going right into the trash lol

SniderTron 3000 nah man just keep doing what you're doing lol

BIRTH. day.

Yeah, I believe so. This roll pan has the opening for a flip down plate for a hidden hitch. That'd be the ideal route

SniderTron 3000 thanks!

He's 61. There's no changing him now lol

I definitely will if the fucking thing ever shows up. It was supposed to be here today at the latest and it hasn't even shipped out yet!

Good looking out! I'll take a gander at it next time I'm under it

Not for stepsides that have fiberglass bed sides.

Yes, they are lol completely unnecessarily

You really overestimate my ambition lol

I think the quality was pretty decent. I didn't think to really look at the thickness, but maybe 18 or 16 gauge. I really think if my truck was in better shape it would fit perfect.

I'd like to do a 3800SC swap in it someday. But, that'll be after everything else is done and I have a bunch of extra cash burning a hole in my pocket haha

Those are the same air hoses in the garage from when he first built it 20 years ago. The red one was a 30 foot hose, but it's been cut down so much it's probably closer to 24 feet by now

Well, we're debating on taking the 5.3 out of the RX-7 and putting it in the OBS. But, yeah it would get cammed either way

I've seen truck with the rear steps shaved and it looks good, but I don't know if I'd be into doing it. I don't have the patience for body work lol

You'll want to keep those steps now that you have no bumper to step on. Having those made my decision to do the rollpan a no brainer.

Paint? Never heard of her lol

The rubber bushings aren't the greatest, but the metal itself is in decent shape

Yeah, it really needs new mirrors

The tires are some old Mickey Thompson E/T Streets we had lying around. My dad used to have a 1980 El Camino, almost like a pro street style that he kept these off of when he sold that. They're 295/65r15 I believe. Perfect size tire for the truck, my wheels just have too little back spacing to tuck them when I drop it.

Idk, man. This video is like 2 or 3 years old now. There was a pandemic since this was filmed lol

That's fair lol

You realize bumpers are only rated for a 5mph impact, right?

@@SniderTron3000 still beats a roll pan. Been there done that. I bumped 3 ft high pole in a gas station parking lot and it got the roll pan the bed, tailgate and the tail light. With a bumper it would have been minor. And yes 5mph but that's why it's called a bumper n not a crash bar

In 4 days it'll be exactly a month since I ordered it :/ It shipped out Friday though, so hopefully this week it'll show up

SniderTron 3000 ill be waiting on that good as video 😎 Notification gang!

NOTI GANG! lol

SniderTron 3000 is there going to be a video of installing the supercharging the slow gmc? and video idea "Ls Swapping the old body style 🤗🤔🤫🏁"

Yeah, I just put a bigger fuel pump in the Slowmosexual to support the boost, that video will be out tomorrow. I'm just waiting on parts and then I'll start the install of that. And I do think we're going to put the 5.3 from the RX-7 in the OBS just because it'll take a lot less money than the RX-7 will. And probably put a 350 and 700r4 back in the Mazda so it's driveable again. And then maybe do a turbo sbc build of that over winter, idk though

I can mail you some wire I found if you want lol

Lmao sounds good, i can sell it to the scrap yard to help pay for the harness :)

The main point is looks. And, it saves probably 40 pounds.

SniderTron 3000 i see, do you think one could be bought that has better fitment? Like just a bolt on without the gaps ?

Maybe, but I'm not into throwing money around when if I really wanted it to look mint, I could spend a day on this and make it really good

SniderTron 3000 the reason i ask is bc i have an f150 im slowly making into a street truck and was jw, looks rad, but didn’t care for the unevenness but like you said in the video one could make it seamless, but i also don’t really care for that look as well.. maybe im too picky 🤷🏼‍♂️

I'm picky about the stupidest things. I'm fine with my truck being dented or scratched up, but I have to have the spark plug wires neat and tidy or it'll annoy the fuck out of me lol messy wiring is my number one pet peeve

The bedside is fiberglass on the stepsides

Nobody cares. lol

They killed it RIGHT when they figured out how to make it good. The 1988 Fiero has a really, really good suspension

I can see them doing that. I like Pontiac

Bronze medals hurt less than Silvers lol

Random trivia before I go and catch up on sleep, Fieros don't get much for scrap because the bodies are all plastic. They have a full space frame chassis and the body is basically glued to it. It's kinda neat actually.

SniderTron 3000 like a big match car that might catch fire
