Chad, I have a Lund roll pan, if you would like to see it I have a good
close up on my profile. There is 1 roll pan I do like better, I saw it
after I ordered mine. Its in one of the Truckin Mags, I looked but
can't find it. It has sort of a horizontal body mold line on it, its on
a red dak in the ad. If I find it I'll email you back. BTW I got my Lund
already color matched from Caribean. Regards Bob Nichols
