Grant Kustoms 3 piece roll pan and tailgate skin....and a few other questions...

[CeeTen]

 Starting a rebuild of my 86 swb Already shaved the gutters and welded up about 40 holes fron the trim, bedrails and toolbox. (I'll post some pics when I get back in town) I was wanting to smooth the rear. I like the looks of the Grant roll pan, does anyone have any experience installing one? How good does everything line up? Also, a tailgate skin, is there a reason I cant just cut a sheet to fit in the rectangular area of the tailgate instead of a skin that goes all the way over the top? Just don't like the idea of two layers of tailgate skin. Also, I want to get rid of the current door handles. Anyone ever tried to install "flush" handles, such as the ones from a 88-98 Chevy?
Thanks,
Brian

You are looking at some serious mods for the 88-98 handles and you would have to mount them low on the door to match the curve.  Plus they are notoriously easy to break into the handles.

Yea now that you mention it those particular doors are curved the wrong way.

I agree, don't waste your time with the cheesy handles. Keep your slammer rigid or shave them and use poppers. If you want  good tailgate skin I can vouch for the Mar-K ones. Their tailgate handle relocator kit is awesome. Their skin and pan was top notch quality. Never used grant so couldn't tell you either way. I would use the half skin and panel bond it. Don't weld it.

Does the half skin just go to the bodyline?

I have used products from both Grant and Mar-K in the past. They both are good quality products but I prefer the Mar-K stuff, like Vile said their products are top notch and I don't think you will find any better in my opinion.

yes
