Question Roll pans questions..

Hello all! I've run across the idea of roll pans on my F100, which I plan to turn pro street, but I'm having a bit of trouble finding front pans. The sites I've found are scarce when it comes to 73-77 F100 roll pans (not sure if broncos or F150 parts interchange) and the option for front pans aren't an option that I see. I see pans with and without license plate spots. Are the pans WITHOUT the spot for the front? Or are the front pans made in some secret lab that does not advertise their product? Here are a few links that I've found...

'Never seen an off-the shelf front pan aka valance. Time to adapt and fab. Here's an example ...

Ahhhhh maaaan, not exactly the look I was going for. It looks fair enough though. The lights kind of kill the slick look IMO. I do kind of like that grill though. I really do appreciate the picture HIO Silver. Not a lot of people like roll pans or valance(s) on their trucks huh?

Apparently not. I like the look of the oem front bumper... painted or chromed.

You're going pro street eh? Consider adding the fromt spoiler off a 11-14 super duty...the 8" version.

Yep, that's the plan for the f100. Never done pro street so I'm giving it a shot. Learning about tubbing the bed now. If I keep the oem front bumper, I'm painting it for sure. I like that spoiler idea though!

There's a pic of a green Bump with the SD spoiler in my build thread: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post13697438

Whats' the plan? Have you prepared a build sheet ?

Gonna have to "back-half" the frame. Ya might wanna check out Alston Chassis Works for info and general design guidance.

You have a 220V welder, right?

No, haven't even thought about a build sheet exactly. I just have the ideas, research to find out how well it would go together, and buy accordingly. I've read about "back-halfing" but wasn't sure what it was yet. Have kind of grasped the "tubbing" concept though. I have family that has heavy welding equipment that usually does that portion of my projects. The spoiler would go very good when painted the same color. I really like what they did with that white truck under the green one though!
