Mar-K vs Counterparts roll pans (front and rear)

[skorpioskorpio]

I need to get my roll pans ordered and there are several suppliers of them. I'd like to get ones that are formed vs simply rolled or fabbed so I'm not really that interested in the Grant pans. This pretty much narrows it down to the Mar-K or Counterparts pans, anyone have an opinion one way or another on fit of these? Also I'm planning on using them as a bolt on not welded so, if I need to I can do collision repair in the future if God forbid something happens.

I'm also curious on the rear pan if using '73-87 trunnions and notching the tailgate side of the hinge with a pan makes it easier to deal with what I understand is some weird game of Tetris when putting this all together. Mar-K kind of eludes to the fact that once assembled you can't access the hinges without taking the pan off and not at all if you weld it in.

Oh and also has anyone used a CPP hidden hitch receiver with a pan? If it matters it's a Jimmy so would be a leaf spring frame, but converted to trailing arms so no longer has any leaf mounts to get in the way.

I'm interested in this as well. I plan to do both front and rear. Can't wait to hear the responses.

Are there better and worse ones?
Are they like cowl hoods where one company makes them and everyone puts there own name on?

I did the one from counterpart before- I had it welded in.. you would have to fab up something if you wanted to bolt it in...also along the top edge you would have to screw it in place or something if you wanted to be able to remove it ..welding in place looks better but pretty much once you do that theres no going back. the counterpart ones are imported ..Mar-k makes them in house... you could also check out Early classic for the towing hitches and roll pans, they are knowledgeable
