For best results, please read all instructions thoroughly prior to attempting installation of your SIR MICHAEL'S weld-on steel roll pan. SIR MICHAEL'S recommends the use of approved hand, eye and ear safety equipment while performing this installation. If you have any questions concerning the installation of your SIR MICHAEL'S steel roll pan, please contact our customer service department at (714) 379-6800, Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST).
NOTE: Any part that is modified and/or painted are non returnable.
Remove the tailgate and rear bumper from truck.
Test fit roll pan to the body, lining up roll pan with bottom of the truck.
Using C-clamps, clamp the roll pan in place. Reinstall the tailgate and check for clearance, making sure the tailgate opens and shuts without hitting the roll pan. NOTE: On 73-79 pick-ups the tailgate is bolted on.
To make install and removal of the tailgate easier, slot the bolt hole on the right or left side hinge, allowing you to only loosen the bolt and slipping the tailgate off rather than removing the bolt all the way out.
After test fitting, remove tailgate and roll pan from vehicle. Using a sander, remove any paint on the body where the roll pan will be welded. NOTE: Most SIR MICHAEL'S weld on roll pans have a 1/2 to 1" overlap, this overlap is for strength purposes as well as ease in welding. There would be less chance of the roll pan cracking at the seam when the weld is applied on the overlap. Clamp roll pan back onto the rear of the vehicle.
Using a wire feed mig welder, tack weld the roll pan in place. Some roll pans need a little forming to the body. By using a body hammer, tap the roll pan lip flat against the body. Tack weld then hammer form the roll pan to the body. Make sure good penetration is made, especially at the top corners of the body where the roll pan is at, ( this a common place for stress cracks ).
Once the roll pan has been welded on, grind down the welds and apply body filler, sand and paint to match.
Apply some seam sealer to the back side of the roll pan where the roll pan is welded to the body to keep moisture out. Install the license plate lite using the two #8 screws (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS). Snap in the plastic nuts into the square holes in the license plate box. Install your license plate with the two phillips head screws provided.
To wire up the license plate lite, connect one wire to the parking lite wire from the taillites and the other wire must be grounded to the frame.
