The aftermarket stuff is getting nicer.. Sir Mic's still makes one of the best fitting pans IMO, they are a nice heavy metal, not thing, tinny..

welding is always the best. for the large holes below tailgate i used 1/4in rivets and a couple of 1/8in on the sides to get the fitting until i was ready to weld and paint.

It will come with sheet metal screws mount it. That's all I used. Also comes with a pretty nice tag light

Back in the days when I had a pan on the truck.. Def best to weld the seams along each end.. I used stainless self tapping screws in between the bottom of the gate and the pan.. Once it is welded up good, smooth the metal out as good as you can get it.. Then put some of the good green on it(Marglass), sand that then a lighter easier mud to sand.. Then naturally fine tune it, primer, sealer then paint..
